Siyaka
Siyaka II, also called Harsha, was a Paramara king of Malwa in central India who turned his family from Rashtrakuta vassals into an independent power. In 972 he invaded the Deccan and sacked Manyakheta, the Rashtrakuta capital, an event recorded by the poet Dhanapala that hastened the fall of the Rashtrakutas. He was the father of Vakpati Munja and Sindhuraja.
