Read the following passage and answer the questions.

The work begins with the origin of the Chalukya dynasty and goes on to describe in the usual style of a Mahakavya, the battles fought and the pleasure enjoyed by king Vikramaditya. The last canto, like the first Uchchhvasa of the Harsha - Charita, gives us an account of the author himself and his literary adventures, of his family, his country and its rulers. As a piece of history the work is full of blemishes. It seeks the intervention of Shiva to explain away certain unhappy incidents in the life of the king. Accurate chronology is also lost in the medley of vague expressions.
