618 CE

The expansionist King Harsha of Thaneswar pushes eastward across the North Indian Plain around 618, meeting no resistance and gaining the allegiance of several petty kings.

Shashanka of Gauda, faced with Harsha’s army of fifty thousand foot soldiers, twenty thousand cavalry, and five thousand elephants, forfeits (either through battle defeat or pragmatic politics; scholars are uncertain) some territory in Pundra-vardhana, which Harsha divides with his ally, Bhaskara Varman of Kamarupa.
