Who among the following usurped power in Kanyakubja after the death Harshavardhana?
Arunashva
The correct answer is Arunashva.
Following the death of Harshavardhana, the vast empire he had built fragmented. Kanyakubja, his capital, became a focal point of political instability. The historical records indicate that Arunashva was the individual who stepped into this power vacuum and took control of Kanyakubja, thus usurping authority in the region after Harshavardhana's reign ended. Thus, Arunashva's brief but significant appearance in historical records marks the initial phase of the post-Harsha political landscape in Kanyakubja before the emergence of these later powerful dynasties.
