A Gayā inscription gives the date V. E. 1232 as the 14th year, counting from the end of his reign. (\*Śrī Govindapāladeva-gata-rājye-caturdaśa-saṁvatsare\*.) His reign thus ended in \*c.\* 1162 A.D. But he may have ascended the throne of Magadha a few years after 1150 A.D.¹ Palapāla of the Jaynagar image inscription may have reigned for a few years after Govindapāla. - [Previous: v1.c16.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.39) - [Next: v1.c16.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.41) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.40) · Pramāṇa
