 This Malava king was defeated by the Pushyabhuti king Rajavardhana around 605 CE, as attested by Banabhatta's "Harshacharita" as well as the Pushyabhuti inscrpitions.The distinction between these Malava and Ujjain regions is also found in the writings of the 9th century Muslim historian Al-Baladhuri, who states that Junayd, the Arab governor of Sindh, raided Uzain (Ujjain) and al-Malibah (Malava) around 725 CE.From 10th century onward, historical records use the term "Malavas" to refer to the Paramaras, who ruled the present-day Malwa region.
