:''This article is about the Emperor Mahipala of Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty. For the Pala Dynasty emperor, see Mahipala''. Mahipala I (913–944) was ascended to the throne of Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty after his step brother Bhoj II. He was born of queen Mahidevi.〔Asni inscription〕 Mahipala I was also designated by names - ''Ksitipala'', ''Vinayakapala'', ''Herambapala'' and ''Uttarapatha Swami''. ==Reign== It seems that Indra III's campaign did not influence Kannauj much and Mahipala I soon revived Kannauj as court poet Rajasekhara calls him ''Maharajadhiraja of Aryavarta''. According to ''Kavyamimansa''〔Kavyamimansa of Rajasekhara, ch. XVII, P. 94〕 of Rajasekhara, Mahipala's reign extended from the upper course of the river Bias in the northwest to Kalinga or Orissa in the south-east, and from the Himalayas to the Kerala or Chera country in the far south. That Mahipala occupied territories up to ''Narbada'' is evident from Partabgarh inscription, which inform about his son ''Mahendrapala II'' ruling at Ujjain in 946. R. S. Tripathi asserts that as Mahendrapala II is not credited with any achievement so it must have been Mahipala I who recovered Ujjain. Closing days of Mahipala was again disturbed by attacks of Rashtrakutas on northern India as the Deoli and Karhad plates of Krisna III, while praising his achievement in the style of inflated panegyric, informs that ''by hearing conquest of southern regions, the hope about Kalanjara and Citrakuta vanished from the heart of the Gurjara''. Arab chronicler Al-Masudi describes about Mahipala I as follows: Mahipala I, whom Kannada poet Pampa expressly calls "Gurjararaja", carried forward the work of his ancestors. He also built the Sas-Bhau temples in Gwalior which was devoted to God Vishnu, but over the years known as Sas-Bahu temple.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gwaliorhotels.net.in/places_to_see_in_gwalior.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahipala I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
