Discussion
The rulers of which dynasty of the Deccan have been described by the Arab writers as the four great sovereigns of the world ?
Answer: D
Arab writers of the ninth century, such as Sulaiman, described the Rashtrakuta ruler, whom they called Balhara, as one of the four great kings of the world. The Rashtrakutas ruled from Manyakheta and held much of the Deccan, which is why the Arab travellers, who landed on the west coast, wrote about them. The Chalukyas of Vatapi and of Kalyani were other Deccan dynasties, and the Mauryas of Konkan were a minor line, but the description is tied to the Rashtrakutas in the Arab accounts. The answer is Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta.
