Later Gupta dynasty (575–606)
- Mahasenagupta (575–601)
- Devagupta (601–606)
Paramara dynasty (948–1305)
According to historian Kailash Chand Jain, "Knowledge of the early Paramara rulers from Upendra to Vairisimha is scanty; there are no records, and they are known only from later sources."[1] An inscription from Udaipur indicates that the Paramara dynasty survived until 1310, at least in the north-eastern part of Malwa. A later inscription shows that the area had been captured by the Delhi Sultanate by 1338.[2]
