Manava was the son and successor to the previous king of Gauda, Shashanka and his queen, the Sayyid princess, Vijayakirti.[1] He was the last recorded ruler of the dynasty and was likely deposed by Harshavardhana (Emperor of Northern India) or Bhaskaravarman (King of Kamarupa). He ruled as king for 8 months 5 days during 625-626 CE.[2][3]
