He continued the struggle with the [[Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty]] and is known to have slain the Gurjara King Devapal in 954.{{Sfn|Ram Vallabh Somani|1976|p=52}} He was able to consolidate power after the weakening of the Gurjara-Pratihara.{{Sfn|Ram Vallabh Somani|1976|p=53}} This hostility with the Pratiharas and the devastation of the empire eventually caused the empire to break into smaller dynasties like [[Paramara dynasty|Paramaras of Malwa]] and [[Chauhans of Ajmer]] and [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukyas of Gujarat]].{{Sfn|Ram Vallabh Somani|1976|p=53}}<br />
