Maja " who had become intoxicated with the wealth of the king of 

 Gaur," (see Journ, Royal As. Soc. V. 350). According to this state- 

 ment Paura Raja must have been reigning just one generation, or 

 twenty-five years, prior to A. D. 808, or in A. D. 783. His anta- 

 gonist Vatsa Raja may therefore be dated about A. D. 800, and 

 Vatsa's great grandson Bhoja Deva about seventy-five years later, or 

 in A. D. 875. 



The result of all these concurring dates is to give us a very good 

 and almost continuous outline of the history of Eanoj from the end 

 of the sixth century down to the Muhammadan conquest, or for 

 upwards of six centuries. The different dynasties may, according to 

 my view, be dated as follows.
