This prince is omitted by the Goharwa grant of Lakṣmī-Karṇa;² but he is mentioned as king in the Benares³ and the Bilhari⁴ inscriptions. Both these records praise him only in vague terms, without any remark of the slightest value. He probably had a rather brief and inglorious reign. The only interesting fact known about him is his devotion to the god Viṣṇu (\*Vaiṣṇava-parama\*).⁵ - [Previous: v2.c29.s2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.87) - [Next: v2.c29.s2.89](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.89) - [Up: v2.c29.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.88](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c29.s2.88) · Pramāṇa
