gives us the name of the Mahâsâmanta Sêunadêva.¹ It allots to him the biruda of Yâdava-Nârâyana; and it styles him "supreme lord of the town of Dvârâvatî," and describes him as born in the race of Vishnu, and as a very sun to cause to burst open the bud of the water-lily that was the Yâdava family. And it records a grant made by him in the month Jyêshtha (May-June), falling in A.D. 1142, of the Dundubhi samvatsara, coupled with Saka-Samvat 1063 by mistake for 1064 (expired).² This record contains no genealogical information. But we can hardly doubt that this person, Sêunadêva, was a descendant, or a collateral relative, of Sêunachandra II. And his date, coupled with his subordinate title, shews that he was a feudatory of the Western Châlukya king Perma-Jagadêkamalla II.
