Question

write short notes on:- 1) palas

Answer 1

The Pala empire was founded by Gopala in 750 AD and was succeeded by his son Dharampala in 770 AD who ruled till 810 AD. Dhrampala was a considerably powerful ruler and occupied Kannauj, where he held a grand and widely-attended durbar. Devpala, son of Dharmapal, who ascended the throne in 810 AD, extended his control over Prgayajyotishpur (Assam). Thus for about 100 years, the Palas dominated eastern India. The Palas were great patrons of Buddhism and Dhrampala had revived the defunct Nalanda University, which was world-famous as a centre of Mahayana learning. He also founded the Vikramshila University, which is considered next to Nalanda only. Many Buddhist ambassadors from Tibet were sent to the Pala court. The Palas maintained the biggest number of elephants in those days for military purposes.
