But considering the proximity of his reign-period (\*c.\* 1060-67 A.D.) to that of Pūrṇapāla (\*c.\* 1042-45) the agreement in the name of the father of both princes, and the provenance of their records, it is perhaps reasonable to accept him as a brother of Pūrṇapāla.³ I have already suggested that Devarāja was possibly another name of Mahīpāla, the grandfather of Pūrṇapāla.⁴ Kielhorn has pointed out that the prince Kṛṣṇa whom the Naddūla Cāhamāna Bālaprasāda claims to have released from the prison of Bhīma I of Anahilavad (\*c.\* 1022-64 A.D.) is probably identical with this Abu prince.¹ - [Previous: v2.c30.s5.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c30.s5.35) - [Next: v2.c30.s5.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c30.s5.37) - [Up: v2.c30.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c30.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c30.s5.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c30.s5.36) · Pramāṇa
