==Biography==<br />
Hari-varman was the founder of the [[Maukhari dynasty]]. He is the first ruler to be named in the known Maukhari records. He or one of his immediate ancestors probably moved westwards towards [[Kannauj]] during the decline of the [[Gupta Empire|Guptas]]. He only bore the title of ''Maharaja'', unlike the other Maukhari rulers who had pompous titles. The Haraha inscription gives him the epithet of ''Jvalamukha'' (fire-faced). <br />
<br />
The Asirgadh seal of Sarva-varman Maukhari says that- (There was) the illustrious Mahârâja Harivarman, whose fame stretched out beyond the four oceans; who had other kings brought into subjection by (his) prowess and by affection (for him); who was like (the god) Chakradhara, in employing (his) sovereignty for regulating the different castes and stages of religious life; (and) who was the remover of the afflictions of (his) subjects. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the illustrious Mahârâja Âdityavarman, begotten on the Bhattârikâ and Dêvî Jayasvâminî.<ref name="RST">{{cite book |last1=Tripathi |first1=Rama S. |title=History of Kanauj: To the Moslem Conquest |date=1989 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publ. |isbn=9788120804043 |page=36 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2Tnh2QjGhMQC&pg=PA45 |language=en}}</ref><br />
