homedans. His son Bhima-dcvu-raja ruled 37 years; and his son was 

 Sobana-devu, ^Yho hearing that Rahta-hahu (bloody-arm,) a Mahomedan 

 chief, -was coming in boats from Delhi, with an invading force, was, to- 

 gether with the whole of the people, seized with panic-fear, and fleeing 

 from Purusliottami-puri^ with the image of their tutelary-god, they took 

 it to Sorna-puram (golden town) and hid the said image there, in the 

 ground. In that town Sohana-devu continued his rule. The Mahome- 

 dans came to Jaganatlia, plundered and did mischief ; and then return- 

 ed. The son of Sblana -was Chandra-devu, who having ruled 4 years in 

 the Jadu-caudam country, formed friendship (or alliance) with the Ma- 

 homedans ; but they acted treacherously, killed him, and usurped the 

 government, during two years. Afterwards one of the race of CJiandra- 

 deva ruled 48 years, and another one 96 years. The image of the sacred 

 Jaganatlia was buried under ground 146 years. Thus (from the last 

 total) the Hindu kings, and the Mahomedans, ruled in all 396 years. 



Kesari Dynasty. 

 Subsequently the race termed Kesari arose. Yayati Kesari of Jaji-pu- 

 ram, was installed in the Udriya country. In the first year of his rule 

 he visited Jaganatlia ; and, as there was no image there, he caused the 

 wooden image termed Daru to be dug up out of the earth; and, having it 

 set apart by pratisfha, appointed the usual complement of hierophants 

 and attendants. He ruled 52 years. His son was Surya Kesari-raja, 

 wlio ruled 23 years. The race, without connected incident, is then con- 

 tinued in the following series :
