A.D. 965 (?) An inscription in Ganjam District of the Kaliṅga-Gaṅga or Eastern Gaṅga king or prince Indravarman alias Rājasimha, is dated in the eighty-seventh year of the dynasty. Another of his is dated in the ninety-first year, and a third in the 149th year, shewing that he lived to a good old age. He was son of Dānārṇava. The eighty-seventh year of the dynasty, if my interpretation is accurate fell in about A.D. 964-65 (See Genealogical Tables; Kaliṅga-Gaṅga Kings notes). Unfortunately the name Indravarman, or Dēvēndravarman, does not occur in the list on which my table is founded till A.D. 1070, and that Indravarman's father was not named Dānārṇava. The Indravarman and Dānārṇava of the inscription may have been princes of the royal house. (V.R. i. Ganjam 13, 290 ; I.A. xiv. 131 ; E.I. iii. 127.)
