Rārakūta Dynasty - Rāshtrakuta Dynasty (English spelling)

Japanese: ラーシュトラクータ朝 - らーしゅとらくーたちょう(英語表記)Rārakūa
Rārakūta Dynasty - Rāshtrakuta Dynasty (English spelling)

A dynasty that ruled in the Indian Deccan from the mid-8th century to the late 10th century. Around 753, Dantidurga, a general of the Chalukya dynasty, took the throne in place of the Chalukya dynasty, whose capital was in Badami, and ruled the Deccan from his capital in Mankhed near Hyderabad. The second emperor, Krishna (reigned 756-773), consolidated the kingdom's system, extended its influence to Mysore and Andhra, and built the Kailasanatha temple in Ellora. At that time, there were powerful kingdoms in the middle Ganges basin, the Pala dynasty in the lower Ganges basin, and the Pallava dynasty in the southern Deccan Peninsula, and this dynasty repeatedly fought against them. In particular, Dhruba and Govinda III conducted a large expedition to northern India and occupied the Pratihara dynasty's capital, Kannauj. However, they did not rule the distant lands they occupied for many years. From the second half of the 9th century, the dynasty gradually declined, being attacked from the east by the Chalukyas and from the south by the Cholas, and was destroyed in 973 by Taila of the Chalukyas, who were under its influence.

Ellora cave temples
Of all the caves, the 16th cave, Kailasanatha, is architecturally the most interesting. It is a single-stone structure carved from a huge block of rock. World Heritage Site "Ellora Caves" (India, registered in 1983) Aurangabad, India ©Shogakukan ">

インドのデカンで8世紀中ごろから10世紀後半まで統治した王朝。バーダーミに都したチャールキヤ朝にかわって、753年ごろチャールキヤ朝の部将ダンティドゥルガが王位を獲得し、ハイデラバードの近くのマンヘードに都して、デカンを統治した。第2代クリシュナ(在位756~773)は王国の体制を固め、マイソールやアーンドラにも勢力を伸ばし、エローラにカイラーサナータ寺院を建立。当時ガンジス中流域にはプラティーハーラ朝、同下流域にはパーラ朝、デカン半島南部にはパッラバ朝という強大な王国があって、この王朝はこれらとの間に戦争を繰り返した。とりわけ、ドゥルバとゴービンダ3世は北インドに大遠征を行い、プラティーハーラ朝の都カンノージ(カナウジ)を占領したことがあった。だが占領した遠方の地を長年にわたって支配することはなかった。9世紀後半からこの王朝はしだいに衰え、東からチャールキヤ朝、南からチョーラ朝に攻められ、973年、勢力下にあったチャールキヤ家のタイラによって滅ぼされた。
