In the Chandela records, he is generally mentioned with his elder brother and predecessor [[Jayashakti]]. The two are believed to have ruled the Chandela kingdom between c. 865 and 885 CE.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}}<br /> <br /> Vijayashakti was the son of [[Vakpati (Chandela dynasty)|Vakpati]], and succeeded his elder brother Jayashakti. He is also known as Vija, Vijaya and Vijjaka.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}}<br /> <br /> Much of the information about Jayashakti and Vijayashakti in Chandela records is eulogistic in nature, and of little historical value.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=28}} These records state that they destroyed their enemies, but do not name any of the defeated rulers.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=29}}<br /> <br /> An inscription found at Khajuraho states that Vijayashakti [[Rama&#039;s Bridge|bridged the ocean]] in order to conquer the South in support of an ally.{{sfn|Mitra|1977|pp=27-28}}{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|pp=29-30}} Historians such as H. C. Ray speculated that as a vassal, he might have conducted a southern expansion on behalf of his masters, the [[Gurjara-Pratihara]]s. [[R. C. Majumdar]] proposed that he might have conducted the campaign for his [[Pala Empire|Pala]] allies. However, there is no record of any Chandela campaign in [[South India]]. It is possible that the inscription only alludes to the southern expansion of the Chandela territory, not a campaign up to the Indian Ocean in the south.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|pp=29-30}}<br /> <br /> Vijayashakti was succeeded by his son [[Rahila]].{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=30}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> === Bibliography ===<br /> <br /> * {{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a9j9ZJGJOV0C&amp;pg=PA27 |title=The Candellas of Jejākabhukti |first=R.
