The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c16.301

v1.c16.301

¹ *Bāṅgālār Itihās*, 2nd Ed., Vol. I, p. 280; Prof. Chakravarti referred to this king's reign two image-inscriptions dated according to him in the 2nd year of Śūrapāla II. See *JASB*, 1908, Vol. IV (N.S.), pp. 107-08. Paṇḍit H. P. Sāstrī, in his introduction to the *Rāma carita* (*MASB*, Vol. III, No. 1, p. 13) followed him. But the inscriptions on palaeographic grounds have now been referred to Śūrapāla I (*MASB*, Vol. V, No. 3, pp. 57-58). This view appears to me to be more probable. The date on the plate given by Prof. Chakravarti is clearly 3 and not 2. See *supra*, p. 298 and fn. 2.
