History
The initial Hindu Shahi dynasty was the House of Kallar, but in AD 964 the rule was assumed from Bhima upon his death by the emperor Maharajadiraja Jayapala, son of Rai Asatapala.[3] Epithets from the Bari Kot inscriptions record his full title as "Parambhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Paramesvara Sri Jayapala deva". He is celebrated as a hero for his struggles in defending his kingdom from the Turkic rulers of Ghazni.
