The Hoysala kingdom arose c. 950–1006 CE and flourished in the 11th-14th centuries ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoysala_Kingdom?utm_source=openai)); the Gahadavala dynasty began with Chandradeva in 1072 CE ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gahadavala_dynasty?utm_source=openai)); the Kakatiyas became sovereign only in 1163 CE ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakatiya_dynasty?utm_source=openai)); and the earliest attested Yadava (Seuna) ruler dates to the mid-9th century, with independence much later ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seuna_%28Yadava%29_dynasty?utm_source=openai)). None of them was established in the early 8th century, so the correct count is ‘none’.
