This arrangement brings the age of Vira Sena, probably the first of 
the family who settled in Bengal, to very near the time which I have 
assigned to Adis’ tira in my paper on Mahendrapala,* and it would not be 
too much to assume that Vira was the immediate successor of Adis’ tra. 
There is, however, no monumental or any ancient authentic record to 
prove the date of A‘dis’tra. The authorities quoted in my paper agree 
in bringing him down to the time of Ballala, and must therefore be 
rejected as false. The author of the Kdyastha Kaustubha places the 
advent of the Kanauj Brahmans in Bengal in the year 380 Bengali or 
892 A. D., which would place A’dis‘tra in the midst of the Palas and be 
altogether inconsistent with the history of the five original Brahmans 
and Kayashtas of Bengal. Pere Tieffenthaler’s authorities carry Adis’ tira 
still further back, and place him twenty-two generations away from 
Ballala. My date of Adis’ura is founded upon the genealogical tables of 
the Kayasthas as now current in this country. Those tables give 27 
generations from the time of Adis’ tira, and at 3 generations to a century 
the time of that prince is carried to 964 of the Christian era. If there 
be any error in the tables, it would no doubt falsify my deduction, but 
as long as that error is not detected, that deduction will, I expect, 
command more attention than the authorities I have quoted. But be 
that as it may, as far as we are at present informed, it must be admitted 
that the two princes lived at times very close to each other. It is said 
_ by some that Adis’ tira was the father of Ballala ; while others maintain 
that he was the progenitor of the Sena dynasty. The first statement 

May at once be rejected as inconsistent with the inscriptions and the
