Palpradipika by Rajat Pal [Hardcover]

"A fierce battle started between Dhruva's forces and Dharmapala's army a little to the west of the confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna. To the south was his brother Bakapala, in the center was Mahasamanta Narayanavarma, and to the left was Dhavala. Dharmapala himself was leading the entire army from a slightly rear position. Dharmapala had already lost some strength in the battle with Vatsaraja earlier. Dharmapala had instructed Bakapala beforehand. Warships were waiting in the river. If necessary, the archers were shooting arrows from the river. Newly appointed troops from Magadha had set out to join the main army. Hundreds of warships were coming from Mudgagiri and Pataliputra along the Ganga. After withstanding the initial storm of Dhruva's forces' attack, Dharmapala engaged in the battle with great vigor."
