v2.c35.28

The author was not inclined to accept Uddyotakesari of Brahmeshwar Inscription as a descendant of Janamejaya of the Gupta family, for there was some discrepancy in the genealogy found in the published text of Brahmeshwar inscription. Now this discrepancy has been removed in the light of the text of the newly discovered plate. It has been suggested by the editor of this plate that Bhīmaratha and Dharmaratha should be read instead of Dīrgharava and Dharmapara respectively occurring in the Brahmeshwar inscription. Apparently we get the following pedigree of the Somavamśī Kings of Orissa after conciliating the two inscriptions of Uddyotakesarī.
