The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c14.81

v1.c14.81

Between this last known date of Harṣa and the first of his successor Śivadeva or Sadāśivadeva (219-239) there is an interval of 20 years.² The Vaṁśāvalī of Bendall describes Śivadeva as the son of Śaṅkaradeva (189-98 N.E.) and gives his date of birth as Āsāḍha 177 (A.D. 1056-57).³ It thus appears that with this king the power of the old dynasty, the Ṭhākuris of Nayakot, revived again. The disturbances that led to this restoration of the old dynasty appear to have originated in Tirhut, outside the hills of Nepal.
