The Second Aulikara dynasty (Late Brahmi script: Au-li-ka-rā) was a royal dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of Daśapura, and at its peak under Yashodharman Vishnuvardhana controlled a vast area, consisting of almost all of Northern India (excluding the east) and parts of Deccan plateau.
[3] The second Aulikara dynasty initially controlled the Malwa plateau, but at its peak under Yashodharman Vishnuvardhana controlled a vast area (the Aulikara Empire), consisting of almost all of Northern India and northern parts of the Deccan plateau.
[3] Aulikara rulers such as Adityavardhana and Dravyavardhana expanded their kingdom[6] and one of their successors Yashodharman conquered vast territories from the Hunas and Guptas after the Battle of Sondani, defeating the Huna Chief Mihirakula around 528 A.D.,[7][8][9][10] thus establishing the short-lived Aulikara empire.
[19] Nothing is known about the dynasty after his death, and Malwa was conquered by the Kalachuris of Mahishmati.
[20][18] After the collapse of Aulikara power in Northern India, the Later Guptas and Maukharis began fighting for imperial supremacy.
