The Khadga dynasty (Bengali: খড়্গ বংশ) was a Buddhist dynasty which ruled the areas of Vanga and Samatata in Bengal from 625 CE to 716 CE.
[2] Chronologically, the dynasty emerged as a powerful kingdom between the fall of Gauda Kingdom and the rise of the Pala Empire.
Their ascendancy may have been immediately preceded by the overthrow of a previously ruling Bhadra dynasty.
[3] While they did not assume imperial titles, the Khadgas retained sovereignty over the ancient kingdom of Vanga and later conquered Samatata.
[4] It was succeeded by the 8th-9th century Buddhist Deva dynasty.
