It was established by Pushyavarman, a contemporary of Samudragupta . This dynasty became vassals of the Gupta Empire, but as the power of the Guptas waned, Mahendravarman (470 - 494) performed two horse sacrifices and threw off the imperial yoke . The first of the three Kamarupa dynasties, the Varmans were followed by the Mlechchha and then the Pala dynasties . </P> <P> The genealogy of the Varman dynasty appears most fully in the Dubi and Nidhanpur copperplate inscription of the last Varman king, Bhaskaravarman (600 - 650), where Pushyavarman is named the founder . The Dubi copper plate inscription of Bhaskaravarman asserts that Pushyavarman was born in the family of Naraka, Bhagadatta and Vajradatta (as did the other two Kamarupa dynasties) three thousand years after these mythical ancestors . The middle or Mlechha (Mech) dynasty, though claim same descent, are native tribal rulers . K.L. Barua opines that there was a Mlechha (i.e., Mech) revolt in Kamarupa and Salastambha, the leader or governor of the Mlecchas usurped the throne by deposing Bhaskaravarman's immediate successor Avantivarman . </P>
