 and others. 

 These are the names given in page 117 of Prinsep's Tables, but in 

 a different order; but no further notice is taken of any of the 

 Pal race. 



There is little doubt but these last named Rajahs were rulers over 

 a part of the north bank, of which Beshnath was probably the centre, 

 as some very extensive lines of fortification are universally attributed 

 to them; and the Pals preceding them, notwithstanding the word 

 Jaintee alluded to, were likely Rajahs over the same country. They 

 may have been a branch of the family of Bupal, who reigned 

 over a district of the empire formerly governed by their ancestors. 

 The succeeding Rajahs were probably Chooteah Cocherees, who are 

 supposed in Assam to have been of the Shan race.
