Shobhita

Shobhita (IAST: Śobhita, r. c. 982–986 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty.

He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan), and achieved military successes against the Paramaras of Chandravati.

[1] Dasharatha Sharma identifies him with another Paramara ruler named Dharanivaraha, who had been attacked and defeated by the Chaulukya king Mularaja.

[2] R. B. Singh notes that Shobhita's successor Baliraja is said to have defeated an army of the Paramara monarch Munja.

Singh theorizes that Shobhita might have captured Dhara for a brief period, while Munja was busy in his southern campaigns against the Chalukyas of Kalyani.
