Nagabhata II was succeeded by [[Ramabhadra]]. Some earlier historians identified Nagabhata with [[Āma]], who according to the Jain accounts, died in 832-833 CE (see [[Āma#Identification with Nagabhata II]]). Based on this identification, Nagabhata's reign is theorized to have ended around 833 CE. Historian Shyam Manohar Mishra, who disagrees with this identification, places Nagabhata's death around 825 CE.{{sfn|Shyam Manohar Mishra|1977|pp=121-124}} | Nagabhata II was succeeded by [[Ramabhadra]].
