Political life
In 598 C.E, a feudal lord, Amshuverma, who belonged to the Vaisya clan, rose to a position of an influential officer and assumed the title of Maharajadhiraj reducing Shivadeva to a mere figurehead.[3] Rather than resisting Amshuverma's rise, he married his daughter to him. Upon his death, his son-in-law Amshuverma succeeded him as the king.[1]
