Question and options
Which ruler’s second coronation has been interpreted by historians as probably marking his elevation to the rank of chakravartin, or universal monarch?
Mihira Bhoja
Bhoja of the Paramara dynasty
Someshvara I of the Western Chalukya dynasty
Karna of the Kalachuri dynasty
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Karna of the Kalachuri dynasty
Historians read the regnal dating of the Rewa inscription alongside the Goharwa plates and infer that the Kalachuri king Karna was crowned a second time, probably as a chakravartin after his conquests. Bhoja of the Paramaras and the Western Chalukya Someshvara I were his eleventh-century contemporaries, and Mihira Bhoja was a ninth-century Pratihara king.
