Northern Bengal was invaded by an army of a Vaṅgāla king in course of which the Buddhist teacher Karuṇāśrīmitra’s house at Somapura Vihāra (modern Pāhāḍpura) was set on fire and he was burnt to death (E.I., XXI, 97-131). According to the Nālandā Inscription of Vipulaśrīmitra (dated about the middle of the 12th century A.D.) Karuṇāśrīmitra was removed by two generations of teachers from Vipulaśrīmitra.
