Kira.—The Khalimpur copperplate of Dharmapāla refers to this country, which, according to Kielhorn, belongs to north-east India (*E.I.*, IV, 243, 246). The people of this country were defeated by Dharmapāla of the Pāla dynasty, and the Kira king, in order to do homage to the Pāla emperor, came to the Imperial assembly at Kanauj (*E.I.*, IV, 243). According to the Khajuraho Inscription of Yaśovarman, the king of Kira received the image of Vaikuṇṭha from the Lord of Bhoṭa (*E.I.*, I, 122). The Rewah Stone Inscription of Karṇa refers to Kira near Baijnāth in the Kangra valley (*E.I.*, XXIV, Pt. III, p. 110).
