Lagbhag 600 CE tak Gupt saamraajya dhundhla pad gaya. Uski jagah kai shaktishaali kshetreeya raajya uthe, har ek ki apni kala aur vichaar, phir bhi sab ek Bharat ka hissa. Uttar mein Pushyabhooti vansh ke Harshvardhan 606 CE mein gaddi par baithe aur Ganga kinaare Kannauj (Kaanyakubj) se raaj kiya, Paataliputra se nahi. Devanagari ki poorvaj Nagari lipi mein unke hastaakshar: "Apne haath se, mahaaraajaadhiraaj Shri Harsh". Unhone teen Sanskrit naatak likhe aur kavi Baanbhatt ko sahaara diya, jinhone Kaadambari, duniya ke pehle upanyaason mein se ek, aur Harsh ki jeevani Harshacharit likhi.

Chini teerthyaatri Xuanzang ne 630 se 644 tak Bharat bhar yaatra ki, Bauddh sthal aur guru dekhe, aur 20 ghodon par 600 se zyaada paandulipiyaan ghar le gaye. Unhone Kannauj ko dhani aur sundar aur Harsh ko nyaayi aur oorjaavaan bataaya. Har paanch saal Prayaag mein Harsh Bauddhon, Braahmanon aur gareebon ko bahut dhan dete. Unhone Narmada ke dakshin badhna chaaha par Chaalukya Pulakeshin II ne roka. Harsh Shiv ko poojte aur Bauddh dharm ko bhi sahaara dete, sab vichaardhaaraaon ka sammaan karte.
