The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c16.199

³ *JASB*, 1893, Vol. LXII, Part I; *Bāṅgālār Itihās*, pp. 251 ff. But from the fact that none of the inscriptions of the contemporary Cāḷukya sovereigns (Taila II, Satyāśraya, Vikramāditya V, and Jayasiṁha II) refers to any conflict with the Pālas, it may not seem impossible that the author was referring to the Karṇāṭas of Mithilā and Nepal. But the possibility of such an identification is rendered impossible by the fact that these Karṇāṭakas probably came to N.E. India in the train of prince Vikramāditya, son of Cāḷukya Someśvara I (1044-68 A.D.). See *supra*, pp. 208 ff. The identification of the Coḷas with Karṇāṭas however is entirely mistaken; see *Gauḍarājamālā*, p. xi.
