The Sena kings succeeded one another from father to son. The names and order of succession are established by inscriptions beyond dispute as being (1) Sāmantasena, (2) Hemantasena, (3) Vijayasena, (4) Vallālasena or Ballāl Sen, (5) Lakshmaṇasena, (6) Viśvarūpasena. Nos. 1 and 2 were merely local chiefs in Orissa, and No. 6 was a ruler of small power in Eastern Bengal. The general history of India is interested only in Nos. 3, 4, 5, who governed dominions of large extent and took rank among the greater powers.
