These however do not help us to arrive at any definite conclusions. But if the Basahi plate of the Gāhaḍavāla Govindacandra can be trusted, Lakṣmī-Karṇa must have sustained his defeat sometime before *c.* 1090-1104 A.D. For it tells us that ‘when on the death of king Bhoja and king Karṇa, the world became troubled, Candradeva (*c.* 1090-1104) came to the rescue and became king and established his capital at Kanyākubja.’² An earlier date than 1090 A.D. is supplied by the Kahirha grant of Yaśaḥkarṇa, dated in (K.) *Saṁvat* 823, which indicates that Karṇa abdicated his throne in favour of his son some time before 1073 A.D.
