It was the in RAM CHANDRA the eldest son of Dashratha, that the glory of the Kosala royal density reach its culmination. He is credited with the establishment of an ideally lawful state, the proverbial RAM RAJYA . In Kosala itself Rama's elder son Kush ascended the thrown of Ayodhya and the younger son Love became the ruler of the northern part of the kingdom with it capital Shrawasti.

From the time of Mahipal the power of Kannauj become to decline and Avadh was divided into small chieftainships, but all of them had ultimately to yield to newly growing power of Gahadwals of Kannauj.
