Dharmapal was the second ruler of the Pala Empire of Bengal and Bihar regions in the Indian Subcontinent.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Dharmapal was the son and successor of Gopala, the founder of the Pala Dynasty. He greatly expanded the boundaries of the empire, and made the Palas a dominant power in the northern and eastern India. He defeated Indraraja (or Indrayudha), the ruler of Kanauj, who was a vassal of the Gurjara-Pratiharas. Dharmapala ruled for about 40 years, and was succeeded by his son Devapala. He revived the Nalanda university and founded the Vikramshila university which later evolved into a great learning center of Buddhism. Vikramashila had about 100 professors, and was managed by a governing body of six members. Dharmapala built the great Somapura Mahavihara in Paharpur, Naogaon District, Bangladesh. Taranath also credits him with establishing 50 religious institutions and patronizing the Buddhist author Haribhadra. |
