The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c16.29

v1.c16.29

¹ *Rājataraṅgiṇī*, IV, 421-68; Kalhaṇa places the reign of Jayāpīḍa in 751-782 A.D. As the adventures in Gauḍa-Puṇḍra are placed by Kalhaṇa in the beginning of his reign, and as Stein has shown that we must correct these dates of the local historian by adding a period of about 12 years, I have placed Jayāpīḍa's possible visit to the lower Ganges valley in c. 762-63 A.D. As to the identification of Jayanta, I would point out that in my chronology he is placed sufficiently near Gopāla to raise the suspicion of their identity.
