Decipherment of an Inscription from Chedi. [No. 4 
When previously treating of the medieval rulers of Chedi, I gave 
their names as follows : 
Yuvaraja.* * * § 
Kokalla. f 
Gangeya. 
Ivarna. 
Yas'ahkarna. 
Gayakarna. 
Narasinha. 
Jayasinha. 
Yijayasinha. 
Ajayasinha. 
Bach of these persons, with one reservation, was son of his imme- 
diate predecessor. Jayasinha was brother of Narasinha. Ajayasinha 
is heard of only as heir apparent. 
The names of, kings , % the first of the list excepted, drawn from 
the inscription appended to these remarks, are : 
Lakshmana. 
Kokalla. 
Mugdhatunga. 
Keyuravarsha. 
Lakshmana.§ 
S'ankaragana. 
Yuvaraja. 
In this series, as in the preceding, the succession passed from 
father to son ; only Yuvaraja was S'ankaragana’s younger brother.|| 
We here have introduced to us a new line, descended from Kokalla, 
that bore sway in Chedi ; the other line being that which proceeded 
* The name of the person so titularly styled was Lakshmana, as we know 
from Colonel Wilford. See the Asiatic Researches, Yol. IX., p. 108. 
That Kokalla’ s father was Yuvaraja appears from a grant on copper. See this 
Journal, for 1839, p. 489, seventh and eighth stanzas. 
*1 His name is also seen spelled Kokkala and Kokkalla. Where the first 
occurs, only a single l would quadrate with the metre. The doubling of the k 
is of no prosodial significance, and probably is a misscript in both places. See 
the Journal of the Bombay Brandi of the Royal Asiatic Society, Yol. IY., first 
facsimile facing p. 110. 
% See stanzas 12, 18, 24, 46, 64, 67. 
§ He was familiarly known, we are told, as Yuvaraja. The reason must have 
been, that he was for a long time heir apparent. See the forty-sixth stanza. 
|| So it is stated in the sixty-seventh stanza.
