Harsha had assumed the title Parama-Maheswara. An early copper plate grant of king Dantidurga (753) shows an image of god Shiva and the coins of his successor, king Krishna I (768), bear the legend Parama-Maheshwara (another name for Shiva). The Kings' titles such as Veeranarayana showed their Vaishnava leanings. Their flag had the sign of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, perhaps copied from the Badami Chalukyas.

The first meeting of Ghosal with Mahavir Swami was held at Nalanda. Parsva, the traditional predecessor of Mahavira is the first Jain figure for whom there is reasonable historical evidence.
