Vol. I, No. 3.] A note on Haldyudha. 39° 
ENS. 
a pre-eminent sacrificer called Dhananjaya having a wife by 
name Gochhashandi. Halayudha was the son of Gochhashandi by 
Dhananjaya. In the prime of his age he (Halayudha) was a Court 
pundita of Lakshmana Sena, in middle age he became Lord 
Chancellor and in old age he was the Prime Minister of the same 
King.”! 
From Halayudha’s own version we know that he never 
belonged to either S’andilya or Kasyapa lineage (aT) as stated 
by Muktarama and Lalamohan respectively; but he belonged to 
the lmeage of Vatsya and his father’s name was Dhanajaya. 
Halayudha who was honoured by Ballala was born in the Chatta 
family, and hence he belonged to the lhneage of Kasyapa and he was 
one of the equalized Kulins; and Halayudha, who was born in the 
family of Batta Narayana, the ancestor of Bandya and hence 
Tagore family, belonged to the lineage of Sandilya. His father’s 
name was Ramarupa, and he cannot be found in the list of 
the equalized Kulins. For these reasons, we can safely say that: 
Halayudha, the author of Brahmanasarbasva, and Prime Minister 
of Lakshmana Sena, son of Ballala Sena, is a quite different person 
from Halayudha, the ancestor of the Tagore family, and from 
Halayudha of the Chatta family who was honoured by Ballala Sena. 
Iam unable also to admit the statement made by Vidya- 
nidhi, when he says that Lakshmana Sena or Lakshmana
