The Tripartite Struggle for control of northern India took place in the ninth century. The struggle was between the Pratihara Empire, the Pala Empire and the Rashtrakuta Empire. Epigraphist Dineschandra Sircar, however, added a different perspective to this struggle..

Nonetheless, the kings and the nobility pos­sessed vast amounts of wealth to which should be added the immense treasures in the various temples of the region. “The temple at Tanjore, possibly the richest during this period, had an income of 500 lb troy of gold, 250 lb troy of precious stones, and 600 lb troy of silver, which was acquired through donations and contributions and in addition to the revenue from hundreds of villages” (Romila Thapar). Apart from this, there was a great centre of wealth represented by the industrial magnates and merchant-princes who wielded a great degree of influ­ence on the economic life of the country. A permanent feature of the economy of the times was this incalculable wealth and treasures of every description which unfortunately was not put to use for productive purposes.
