2. Gahadavala Dynasty: The Gahadavala dynasty was a medieval Indian dynasty that ruled parts of present-day Uttar Pradesh in Northern India from the 11th to the 12th century AD. They also rose to prominence later than the early eighth century.
3. Kakatiya Dynasty: The Kakatiya dynasty was a medieval South Indian dynasty that ruled the Telugu-speaking region of present-day Telangana and Andhra Pradesh from the 12th to the 14th century AD. They also established their kingdom later than the early eighth century.
4. Yadava Dynasty: The Yadava dynasty, also known as the Seuna dynasty, ruled parts of present-day Maharashtra in Western India from the 12th to the 14th century AD. They also did not establish their kingdom in the early eighth century.
