1896.] N.N. Vasu—Chronology of the Séna Kings of Bengal. 31 
From what has been stated above it may be inferred that in his old 
age Laksmana-séna made Madhava-séna the Governor of Radha or 
Nava-dvipa, and Kecava-séna that of Gauda (probably Varéndra). And 
in this manner Vicya-riipa obtained the sovereignty of Hast Bengal. 
If the statement made by Edi-micra is to be taken as correct, we can 
infer from it that Kécava-séna, after repairing to Hast Bengal took 
shelter under Vicva-ripa, who I believe, formally ascended the throne 
in A. D. 1200-1201. 
In Caka 1019, z.e., A. D., 1097, Nanya-déva of the Karnataka dy- 
nasty ruledin Népal. Dr. Kielhorn has shown that Vijaya-séna defeated 
this king, and I accept the Doctor’s statement as most probable. I have 
already shown that his (Vijaya-séna’s) son Ballala-séna was installed in 
the year A.D. 1119. Such being the case, Vijaya-séna must have 
ruled Bengal for (at least) 24 or 25 years. After him Ballala-séna 
ruled 50 yéars, and his son Laksmana-séna 27 or 28 years. 
Abia-l-fazl has made mention of one Sada-séna! who ruled after 
Kécava-séna fora period of 18 years. I think that this Sada-séna 
probably ruled after Vicva-ripa. Itis not improbable that like the 
other rulers of Bengal, Vigva-ripa also lived to anold age and reigned 
for many years. Abiu-l-fazl further says that after Sada-séna Nauja? 
ruled Bengal. Harimigra has also made mention of a powerful king 
named Danauji-madhava. There is not the least shadow of doubt 
that Abu-l-fazl read Nauja in place of Danauja. In the work named 
Tarikh-i-Firtz-shahi, this Danauja-madhava, is described as Dannuja 
Raya. Dr. Wise has thus written of Danuja Raya:—‘ This is pro- 
bably the same person as Danuja-madhava, who is believed to have 
been a grandson of Ballala-séna.’ This Danauja-madhava was not the 
grand-son, but the great-crandson of Ballala-séna, In speaking of 
Kécava, Hari-micra thus writes :—
