v1.c27.13

A.D., Kṣitirāja became a *sannyāsin* and sometimes visited king Ananta in order to console him. If this interpretation is correct, we get a limit to Bhoja's date at 1062 A.D. A copper-plate of his successor Jayasiṃha, however, is dated 1055 A.D., and throws doubt on Bühler's conjecture. But all this will justify us in fixing Bhoja's date with great probability between 1010 and 1055 A.D.; i.e. roughly covering a part of the first and the whole of the second quarter of the 11th century, and he may have lived into the third quarter of the same century. The exact dates of his accession and death are unknown.
