Answer: Option D
Answer: (d) Dantidurga, the Rashtrakuta rulers, is known to have made the Hiranyagarbha-dana’ at Ujjaini. Rashtrakutas were subordinate to the Chalukyas. Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief, threw his Chalukyan overlord and performed Hiranya-garbha, a ritual that is thought to lead to the rebirth of the sacrificer as a Kshatriya. Dantidurga, thus, founded the Rashtrakuta empire.
