The Ayudha dynasty was the short-lived ruling dynasty that ruled from Kannauj in the late 8th to the early 9th century. It ruled as a client kingdom of Dharmapala of Bengal during the reign of Chakrayudha. The dynasty was established when Vajrayudha deposed the Varmans and started ruling over Kannauj.
