100 R. I). BANERJI ON THE PALAS OF BENGAL. 



None of the Sena Princes are mentioned in the list of Ramapala's feudatories, and 

 most probably their relations with the Imperial Palas were not cordial. Samanta- 

 sena, probably, came to power during the disturbances, in the earlier part of the reign 

 of Vigrahapala III. We know nothing about his son, Hemantasena, who was most 

 probably a very tame vassal of the Emperor Ramapaladeva. 



Ramapala's minister was Bodhideva, the son of Yogadeva ; who was the piime 



minister of his father Vigrahapala III. His minister for peace 



and war (Sandhi-vigrahika) was Prajapatinandi, the father 



of vSandhyakaranandi. Mayana, one of his principal generals, conquered Assam 1 for 



him, and according to Mahamahopadhyaya Haraprasad Sastri, his Chief Medical 



Officer was Bhadresvara. 2
