¹ *JASB*, 1915, pp. 408-09. This date of Nānyadeva is based on the synchronism of Malladeva, his son, and the Gāhaḍavāla king Jayacandra (Jayaccandra). In the *Yuddhavīra*, one of the tales of the *Puruṣaparīkṣā* of Vidyāpati, Malladeva is said to have served Jayacandra (*c.* 1170-93 A. D.), king of Kānyakubja and Kāśi, and died at the age of 16. Prof. Kielhorn while editing the Deopara Inscription of the Sena king, Vijayasena, placed Nānyadeva in Śaka 1019 (A. D. 1097). The date is found on a MS. noticed in the *Katalog der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft*, Leipzig, 1881, Vol. II, p. 8. See *EI*, Vol. I, p. 313, fn. 57. The discovery in 1923 of a stone inscription of Nānyadeva in Bihar is reported by Mr. K. P. Jayaswal. See *Bāṅgālār Itihās*, by R. D. Banerji, 2nd Ed., Calcutta, p. 318, fn. 34.
