Rajatarangini

After ruling indirectly and directly, Didda (980–1003 CE) placed Samgrāmarāja, son of her brother on the throne, starting the Lohara dynasty.

Kalhana was an educated and sophisticated Sanskrit scholar, well-connected in the highest political circles.

[19] Even where the kings mentioned in the first three books are historically attested, Kalhana's account suffers from chronological errors.

Horace Hayman Wilson partially translated the work, and wrote an essay based on it, titled The Hindu History of Kashmir (published in Asiatic Researches Volume 15).

These include: A television series based on Rajatarangini named Meeras began in 1986 in Doordarshan, Srinagar.
