Answer» Harshvardhana, the King of Kanauj, was very ambitious. He had a powerful army with the help of which he fought wars and conquered territories. After gaining victory over most of the regions of north India, Harshvardhana marched victoriously towards south to conquer it. At the same time, Pulkeshi II, the King of south India, also led his army towards north. Hence, both the armies met at Narmada. This led into a great war. The powerful army of the vaiiant King Pulkeshi II defeated the great king, Emperor Harshvardhana. This brought an end to the victorious march of Harshvardhana. Due to this war, Harshvardhana could not extend his empire beyond Narmada.
