History of Orissa from the Earliest Times to the British Period v1.c31.1

v1.c31.1

Two sons of Pratāparudra are known to us from the local chronicle *Mādalā Pāñji*. Even their proper names have not been recorded and they are mentioned only by their nicknames. The eldest of them Kālu-ā Deva, succeeded Govinda Vidyādhara, who had already rebelled during the war with the Sulṭāns of Bengal, at the time when Pratāparudra was besieging Isma'il Ghāzī in the fort of Mandāran,—and became all powerful. According to the *Mādalā Pāñji*, he was murdered by Govinda after a reign of one year, five months and three days. No record of his time has been discovered and the only record in which Kālu-ā Deva is mentioned is the temple records of Jagannātha.
