in these grants, dhruvasena's father bhaṭárka and his elder brothers are described as 'great máheśvaras' that are followers of śiva, while dhruvasena himself is called 'paramabhágavata', the great vaishṇava. he must be liberal in religious beliefs. in the 535 ce grant, he had made an arrangement for a buddhist monastery at valabhi built by his buddhist niece duḍḍá (or lulá?). he had made several grants to brahmanas of vadnagar. the jain council at vallabhi was probably held during his rule which was arranged by his wife chandralekha. during these days, he had lost his son as the vallabhi council has condoled on loss. "kalpa sutra", the jain text, was compiled probably during the reign of dhruvasena, 980 or 993 years after the death ("nirvana") of mahavira. kalpa sutra mentions that the public reading of it started at anandapura (vadnagar) to relieve dhruvasena from the grief of the death of his son. based on his grants, it known that his kingdom extended from dwarika to valabhi, whole saurashtra peninsula and as far as vadnagar in the north.
