In the 7th century A.D, under the reign of King Shashanka, the Gauda Kingdom rose in power, becoming a regional powerhouse in Bengal.[1] Following the demise of Susthitavarman, ruler of Kamarupa (Assam), his son Supratishthitavarman ascended as the kingdom's new king. During his reign, Shashanka seized the opportunity to assert dominance upon Kamarupa, invading the Kingdom and penetrating deep into its inner heartlands.[1] In the end, Gauda ultimately emerged victorious and ended up capturing Supratishthita and Bhaskara, the two brothers of the ruling Varman dynasty.[1] They were later released under the condition of pledging allegiance to Gauda,[1] becoming feudatories under the authority of Shashanka. This served as a catalyst for a rivalry between Gauda and Kamarupa for years to come. Favor shifted from Gauda to Kamarupa however with the death of Shashanka, causing his dominion to form separate kingdoms by 638 A.D which were soon conquered by Bhaskara, the new King of Kamarupa.[2] Suzerainty over Bajmahal and Ganges, territories previously ruled by Shashanka, can be implied with the fact Bhaskaravarman led a substantial army, including 20,000 elephants, to meet his ally Harsha near Bajmahal and also a fleet of 30,000 ships that sailed along the Ganges to reach the same destination in around 642 A.D. Thus it can be said that Bhaskaravarman and Harsha most likely conquered Sasanka's dominions, both within Bengal and beyond, between 638 and 642 A.D. The issuance of a grant from Karnasuvarna also imply the successful seizure of Gauda's capital city.[2]
