1896.] N.N. Vasu—Chronology of the Sena Kings of Bengal. BY) 
1378 almost the whole of Bengal came under the Musalman rule, It is 
also stated in the ‘ Ballala-carita,’ that Ballala of the Vaidya family, 
fought against a Musalman Faqir named Baba Adam.! 
This shows conclusively that Ballala of the Séna family of Ganda 
was a Kayastha or a Ksatriya of the Lunar Dynasty, and that Ballala 
of Vikrama-pura, who lived long after him, was a Vaidya. The latter, 
probably, was a Zamindar of note, who at the time of dismemberment 
of the Kingdom of Bengal rose to some eminence. 
POSTSCRIPT. 
After I had finished the above article, I obtained from an old 
Ghataka of Faridpur, a Vameavali of the kings of Candra-dvipa. This 
Vameavali in a verse clearly describes Jaya-déva the 5th king of Candra- 
dvipa, as descended from the Séna dynasty. The Cloka runs thus :—

From the above, there. can be no doubt of Danauja and his des- 
cendants being descended from the Séna dynasty. Moreover I have 
heard from the old Ghataka, that Danauji and his successors styled. 
themselves Rayas of Candra-dvipa.
