Muhammadan historians on this point, we should examine 
Vikrama Samvat 1232. This inscription of Govindapaladeva 
also contains the word gate. It is evident from the analogy of 
the inscriptions already quoted that his reign must have been

dead at that time, because a manuscript written in the 37th 
year of his reign has been discovered by modern scholars. The 
following references to the reign of Govindapala have been 
discovered as yet.
