Flew from the battlefield ( Battling with Harshabardhan), he went to 'Betasgram' ( a Village of Gauda). There he met with 'Rangana'. Who saved his life. Later he married Rangana and went to 'Karna Subarna' to save the capital. He failed to keep Bhaskaravarman away from acquiring Gauda. Bajra Dev was the king of Gauda for only 1 day.
