Ramabhadra (833–836) was an Indian king, of Gurjara Pratihara dynasty. According to Jain Prabhavakacarita, Nagabhata II was succeeded by Ramabhadra, sometimes also called Rama or Ramadeva. His mother's name was Istadevi.[1] Ramabhadra had a brief reign of three years. He encountered many difficulties during his reign. From an inscription found at Gwalior, it is known that his empire extended to Gwalior.[2][3]
Military career[edit]
Conflict with Devapala[edit]
Ramabhadra is credited with no victory in the Pratihara inscription, which states that he ''had no desire for the world.'' Majumdar has interpreted the Gwalior Praśasti to indicate that Ramabhadra's dominion was invaded by the Pala king Devapāla. This invasion have led to serious disturbances in the Pratihara dominion.[4] Ramabhadra suffered heavy setbacks at the hands of Devapāla, who even temporarily ravaged his dominion.[5]
