Harshavardhana was the greatest ruler of the Vardhana empire. He came to power in 606 CE. Prabhakara Vardhana and Yashomati were his parents. He had an elder brother namely Rajavardhana and an younger sister named Rajashri. He was also called “Shiladitya“. Thaneshwar was his capital.
Yashomati, her mother, pained by the death of her husband, committed in Sati in 605 CE. Devagupta of Malwa killed Rajashri’s husband Gruhavarma and imprisoned her at Kannauj. Raja Vardhana who went to get her released was killed by Shashanka of Gaudadesha. Harshavardhana came to power under such painful circumstances. The release of Rajashri and revenge on Shashanka were his main aims.
HARSHAVARDHANA’S ACHIEVEMENTS
Rajashri escaped from prison and went towards Vindhya mountains. Harshavardhana who came to know of this, searched her with great difficulty and prevented her from jumping into the pyre. Then he added Kannauj to his empire and made it his second capital.
Harshavardhana, with the help of Bhaskara Varma of Kamarupa attacked Shashanka of Gaudadesha/Gauda Kindgom (Bengal) and took revenge. But as long as Shashanka was alive, he could not defeat him completely. Then he defeated Devagupta of Malwa and annexed it to his kingdom. By 612 CE, he achieved complete control over Pancha Sindhus of Punjab. Kannauj, Bihar, Orissa and other places were added to his kingdom. He defeated Dhruvasena II of Vallabhi. Later he gave his daughter in marriage to him and established a good relationship with him.
After the demise of Shashanka of Gaudadesha, Harshavardhana won Orissa, Magadha, Vodra, Kongonda (Ganjam) and Bengal (Gaudadesha). Later he defeated the ruler of Nepal and received tributes from him. He established his supremacy by defeating North-Indian Kingdoms. In commemoration of these achievements he took the title “Uttarapatheswara“.
