鈥楾he commencement of the twelfth century is marked in the history of K膩艣m墨r by the important dynastic revolution which brought about material changes in the political state of the country. King 贬补谤峁�a whose rule (A.D. 1089-1101) seems at first to have secured to K膩艣m墨r a period of consolidation and of prosperous peace, had subsequently fallen a victim to his own Nero-like propensities. Heavy fiscal exactions necessitated by a luxurious court, and a cruel persecution of the 岣屇乵补谤补蝉 who formed the landed aristocracy, had led to a rebellion under the leadership of the brothers Uccala and Sussala, two relatives of 贬补谤峁�a from a side branch of the Lohara dynasty. 贬补谤峁�a had succumbed in the struggle and had found a tragic death by murder.

The real princes, who in their success had threatened to become rivals, avoided a conflict for the crown by a partition of 贬补谤峁�a鈥檚 territories. K膩艣m墨r was to be ruled by Uccala, the elder brother, while the adjoining hill-state of Lohara, the original home of the family, fell to Sussala鈥�.His (Uccala鈥檚) reign (A.D. 1101-11) was threatened frequently by the rise of pretenders, and invasions on the part of his own brother Sussala. Ultimately he was murdered by a conspiracy among his trusted officials鈥�.Ultimately Sussala allied himself with Gargacandra and secured through his help the long coveted throne. In contrast to his elder brother he seems to have been personally brave, but rush, cruel and inconsiderate. His rule, A.D. 1112-28, was practically one long and disastrous struggle with the irrepressible 岣屇乵补谤补蝉 and with dangerous pretenders. When Sussala, after much fighting and treachery had at last succeeded in destroying Gargacandra, the discontent of the 岣屇乵补谤补蝉 broke out, in a great general rebellion. In Bhik峁Ｄ乧ara, a grandson of 贬补谤峁�a,who had been brought up abroad, they find the desired pretender. Sussala鈥檚 oppression and senseless cruelties increased their ranks, until they were strong enough to besiege the king in his capital. After a protracted defence during which the capital suffered severely, Sussala was obliged to flee to Lohara. Bhik峁Ｄ乧ara was crowned in the capital and held nominal rule over K膩艣m墨r for a little over six months (A.D. 1120-21)鈥�.The eyes of the populace turned once more towards Sussala. After successfully repulsing a K膩艣m墨rian force which had been sent against Lohara, Sussala came back to K膩艣m墨r, and owing to the 岣屇乵补谤补蝉 disunion, recovered the throne (A.D. 1121).

During the following seven years civil war continued almost without interruption鈥︹��Finally, in 1128, Sussala, fell a victim to a murderous plot which he had himself started for the destruction of his rival. His son 闯补测补蝉颈峁僪补 who succeeded him, found the 岣屇乵补谤补蝉 as strong as ever and Bhik峁Ｄ乧ara ready to march into 艢r墨nagar.The means by which he gradually secured a footing and restored at least a semblance of royal authority, were not the reckless valour of his father, but comprise with feudal grandees and Macchiavellian cunning. For two years after his accession the danger from Bhik峁Ｄ乧ara continued until the brave pretender was treacherously entrapped and killed in a frontier castle. Scarcely had this enemy been put out of the way, when a successful conspiracy placed the ancestral castle and territory of Lohara in the hands of a new pretender, Lo峁環ana, a brother of Salha峁嘺鈥�..Though Lohara was ultimately retaken through treachery, Lo峁環ana and Mall膩rjuna, another pretender, continued to harass K膩艣m墨r for years鈥�. When at last Mall膩rjuna had been captured (A.D. 1135), the exhausted country seems to have obtained a respite from its troubles and sufferings. This was not to last long. In the year 1143 we find 闯补测补蝉颈峁僪补 confronted again by dangerous rivals. Bhoja, the new pretender, a son of Salha峁嘺, obtained powerful allies in the Darads, the northern neighbours of K膩艣m墨r鈥︹�� Ultimately 闯补测补蝉颈峁僪补鈥檚 diplomacy scored a success by a peaceful pact with Bhoja (A.D. 1145). But 碍补濒丑补峁嘺鈥檚 narrative shows plainly that the forces of internal strife and disruption which had crippled the unfortunate country ever since the time of 贬补谤峁�a were by no means spent when he wrote his chronicle.鈥�
