The next name of the Tomaras which we have to notice is that of 
Bilanga Deva. It occurs in No. 15 of Colonel Cunningham’s plates (iii) 
which hears date the 5th of the waxing moon inMagha, Samvat 14G7 = 
A. C. 1410. Tieffenthaler has a Viramdew,but he was three generations 
removed from Dungara. It is more probably therefore the same with 
his Barsingdew, who had a long reign of 75 years and was followed by 
Doungar Sen, for we find thirty years after Bilanga a Dungarendra Deva 
of whose reign there are three different inscriptions in Col. Cunning¬ 
ham’s collection, dated respectively on Sunday the full moon, Sunday 
the 9th of the waxing moon, and Friday the 7th of the waxing moon, 
in Vais'akha, Samvat 1497 = 1440 A. C. (Figs. 16, 17 and 18). The 
language used in these monuments is an obsolete patois unintelligi¬ 
ble to me. The last of them records the dedication of a Jain figure by 
Kala a high priest of the congregation of Adijina. Two of the records 
bear the name of the Baja who seems to have enjoyed a long and pros¬ 
perous reign. He is described as “ the supreme lord of great kings” 
in an inscription on the foot of a figure of Mahavira* which is 
date the 8th of the waxing moon in the month of Magha, Samvat 
1510 = 1453 A. C. His name likewise appears on a pillar of victory 
at Narwar which was erected by one of his descendants S}^am Shahi 
(Plate IV.), as also in the Kohtas inscription on the Kothoutiya 
gate of the old fort at that place.f The Narwar Pillar records 
the names of probably thirteen princes, but they are not all intelligi¬ 
ble, owing partly to efacement of the engraving and partly to the 
document being in an obscure patois, a mixture of Sanskrita and 
obsolete Hindvi. They correspond, however, so closely with the names 
on the Bohtas monument, that I have no hesitation in taking them 
to refer to the same dynasty, and of correcting the reading of one by 
the other. The first name on the pillar is Vira Sinha, (I.) which occurs 
likewise at Bohtas. The second name on the pillar is illegible, and in 
its place at Bohtas we have Uddharana, (II.) who is followed in both 
records by Ganapati Deva (III.) whose successor according to the 
Bohtas record was Hungara Sinha (IV.) and according to the Narwar 
pillar Dungara Sinha, both evidently identical with the Dungarendra 
of the inscriptions 17,18 and 19 ; the difference in the initial being due
