But, from the mention of Ansu Varma as the reigning king of Nepâl by Hwen Thsang, it is quite clear that the dates which I have quoted must belong to the Sri-Harsha era. According to the lists Ansu had one predecessor Siva Deva Varma, who, as he belonged to the old family that had been expelled, was very probably restored by the powerful king of Kanauj, whose era he adopted. - [Previous: c21.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c21.6) - [Next: c21.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c21.8) - [Up: c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c21.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c21.7) · Pramāṇa
