Q. Which of the following Kings of Rashtrakuta dynasty performed a yajna called hiranya-garbha?
Answer: Dantidurga
Notes: Rashtrakutas in the Deccan were subordinate to the Chalukyas of Karnataka. In the mid-eighth century, Dantidurga, a Rashtrakuta chief, overthrew his Chalukya overlord and performed a ritual called hiranya-garbha (literally, the golden womb). When this ritual was performed with the help of Brahmanas, it was thought to lead to the “rebirth” of the sacrificer as a Kshatriya, even if he was not one by birth.
