Section 1. Account of Jaganatha, (together \yitli notice of Orissa 

 princes.) 



It is entitled in the document an account of the kings of the Odru/a- 

 desam. The name of the capital town, in the earliest ages, was Purushot- 

 tama-piiri (legendary,) A fane of Nila Madliava-svami (or Vishnu) is 

 stated to have received homage from the Chacraverti sovereigns, during 

 the Satya, Treta^ and Dwdpara ages. The narrative, in a lower legen- 

 dary point of view, does not commence till the Cali age. The lunar line 

 commencing with YuddMshfhira is given, as that of persons paying ho- 

 mage here. As the names, herein given, vary from other accounts I 

 wrote them down as follows : 



1. Yudliishtliira, 12 Years. 5. Gautama Deva, 390 Years, 



2. Paricshittu, 757 „ 6. Mahendra Raja, 315 



3. Janamejaya, 572 „ 7. Asattu Deva, . . . 124 ,, 



4. Saumara Deva, 410 „ 8. Satta Saka Deva, 150 



Satta-saha-deva-raja, coming to Jaganat^ha-puram, and finding its build- 

 ings gone to decay, had these repaired, and reconstructed. His son named 

 Yajra-laha-deva-raja ruled 117 years. In his time the Turco7nan-3Io- 

 ghids from Pa<'7a-/>a/rt country, (the Patans from Affghanistan,) invaded 

 the country with an army ; but were driven back. After their retreat 

 his son Sara-sangi-deva-raja ruled 115 years, in Delhi. He had a water re- 

 servoir excavated and conquered many princes. His son was Ilamsa-deva- 

 raja who ruled 122 years. In his days the Turks from Cashmir invaded the 

 country- His son was JBhoJa-t^aJa who constructed bridges across various 

 rivers, and protected many people. He fought with the Yavanalu who 

 came from the Sindha* country, and took that country. He ruled 127 

 years, liis son Vira Vicramaditga-raja ruled 118 years. He had a fa- 

 miliar spirit termed a Vetala near to him. He conquered many coun- 

 tries. (Vicramaditya was prior to Bhoji-raja.) It is here noted that 

 the total period of rule of the foregoing thirteen kings is 3,269 years, 

 (average 2512 each.) 



Subsequently while Carnarjita raja was ruling in Delhi in the Coth 

 year of his reign, Navaranga Pashah Sheikh came with Turkish (i. e. 

 Mahomedan) troops, and drove the said Carnarjita-raja away from Delhi. 

 He went to Purushottami-puri, and dwelt there. His son was Vatta-kes- 

 vara-deva, who ruled 51 years, and fought with many kings. His son 

 was Trihhuvana-deva-raja, who ruled 63 years. He first established 

 the use of cowries (or small sea shells) as currency for money. His son 

 was Nirmala-deva-raja, who ruled 45 years. He fought with the Ma- 



* This may have been an invasion of the Bactrians. Mr. J. Prinsep thought from some 

 medal he made out the name Yavana-Antiochus, and inferred the reign of a Bactrian 

 king in India. It appeared to me to be Yavana-antalca, " the conqueror of the Favanas;" 

 and agreeing, if so, with the Manuscript authority.
