==Career==
Prince Anandapala who ascended his father's throne in about March/April AD 1002 already proved an able warrior and general in leading many battles prior to his ascension. According to 'Adáb al-Harb' (pp. 307–10) in about 990 CE, it is written, ''"the arrogant but ambitious [[Raja]] of [[Lahore]] Bharat, having put his father in confinement, marched on the country of Jayapála with the intention of conquering the districts of [[Nandana]], Jailum (Jehlum) and Tákeshar"'' (in an attempt to take advantage of Jayapala's concentrated effort with defence against the armies of Ghazni). ''"Jayapala instructed Prince Anandapala to repel the opportunist Raja Bharat. Anandapala defeated Bharat and took him prisoner in the [[battle of Takeshar]] and marched on Lahore and captured the city and extended his father's kingdom yet further."''

However, during his reign as emperor many losses were inflicted on his kingdom by the [[Ghaznavids]]. During the [[battle of Chach]] between [[Mahmud]] and Anandapala, it is stated that ''"a body of 30,000 [[Gakhars]] fought alongside as soldiers for the Shahi Emperor and incurred huge losses for the Ghaznavids"''. However, despite the heavy losses of the enemy, he lost the battle and suffered much financial and territorial loss. This was Anandapala's last stand against [[Sultan]] Mahmud of Ghazni. He eventually signed a treaty with the Ghaznavid Empire in 1010 and shortly a year later died as a result of a natural death. [[R. C. Majumdar]] compared him ironically to his dynastic ancient famous ancestor ''"[[King Porus]]'', who fought Alexander.<ref>R.C Majumdar (''D.V. Poddar Commemoration Volume'', Poona 1950, p.351)</ref> And ''Tahqíq Má li'l-Hind'' finally revered him in his legacy as ''"noble and courageous"''.<ref>Tahqíq Má li'l-Hind (p.351)</ref>

==Succession==
Anandapala was succeeded by his son [[Trilochanapala|Prince Trilochanpala]] who ascended his father's throne in about AD 1011.{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}}
