[4] According to a fragmentary Khajuraho inscription, Harsha restored a king named Kshitipala-deva on the throne.
Another theory is that Harsha helped Mahipala overthrow the latter's step-brother Bhoja II.
[7] Several inscriptions of Harsha's descendants eulogize him using conventional terms, praising him for good qualities such as bravery, generosity, modesty, and statesmanship.
[8] These inscriptions also mention his military successes in vague terms, but do not specifically name any enemies.
[4] Although very little purely historical information is available about Harsha, the available evidence suggests that he was more influential than any of his predecessors, and paved the way for the rise of the Chandelas as a sovereign power.
