It can therefore be accepted that the person meant was Vidyādhara the son and successor of Gaṇḍa. Bīdā is a mistake for بدیا, the phonetic equivalent in Arabic of Vidyā, the first portion of the name of the Candella prince. As this statement of Ibn ul-Athīr agrees with epigraphic evidence, there remains absolutely no doubt that about 409-10 A.H. Gaṇḍa was already dead. - [Previous: v1.c20.129](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.129) - [Next: v1.c20.131](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.131) - [Up: v1.c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.130](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.130) · Pramāṇa
