This inscription has been referred to the reign of Vigrahapaladeva because its 

 writing resembles that of the Aksayavata inscription. 



Nothing is known about the relations of Vigrahapala III save his three sons 



Surapala II, Mahipala II and Ramapala, all of whom succeeded him one after another. 



The Ramacarita mentions two uncles of Ramapala, Mahana 



Successors and Qr ]yiathanadeva and his brother Suvamadeva, who belonged 



relations. ■ ' ° 



to the Rastrakuta family. So Vigrahapala must have 



married another lady of the Rastrakuta family whose name has not come down to
