To Kielhorn, when editing the Khalimpur grant in 1896-97, the name of Cakrāyudha, king of Kanauj was a mystery. But since then the discovery of other inscriptions of contemporary reigning families of India has solved the difficulty. - [Previous: v1.c16.53.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.53.1) - [Next: v1.c16.53.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.53.3) - [Up: v1.c16.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.53) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.53.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c16.53.2) · Pramāṇa
