“ In a copper-plate inscription obtained by Col. Ellis, which is dated 
in S. 1337 or 1280, the genealogy was read by his Pandit as follows:— 
1. Kundo Barm Deo. 
2. Parmara Dea. 
3. Trilok Barm Deo. 
4. Sandin Barm Deo. 
From an imperfect impression, which 1 saw in 1848, I read these 
names as— 
1. Yadava Varrnma Deva. 
2. Paramarddi Deva. 
3. Sri Trailokya Varrnma Deva. 
4. Sri Sandhira Varrnma Deva.* 
I am now, however, inclined to think that the first name must be 
Rladanci Varrnma Deva , but as I cannot refer to the original, I must leave 
this point doubtful.”f 
It is I think quite impossible to doubt that the first name really was 
Madana Varrnma Deva, but we are at present concerned with the third 
and fourth names, the readings of which by General Cunningham and the 
Pandit substantially agree ; there being no doubt that the second name was 
that of Paramardi, popularly known as Parmal or Parmar. 
The inscription then proves that Parmal was succeeded by Trailokya 
Varrnma Deva, and, as we know that Parmal died at Kalinjar in 1202 A. D., 
Trailokya, who was probably his son, must have come to the throne in that 
year. Trailokya’s successor Sandhira Varrnma Deva was reigning in 1280 
A. D., seyenty-eight years after the accession of his immediate predecessor. 
It is very unusual to find so long a period covered by two reigns. It is 
probable that the long interval was distributed pretty evenly between 
the two reigns, and we may assume that the inscription is dated towards 
the close of Sandhira Varmma’s reign, the termination of which may 
provisionally be dated in the year of the inscription 1280. The date of 
Blioja Varrnma 1288 A. D. in the Jayadurga inscription shows that 
Sandhira Varmma’s reign cannot have extended much beyond 1280 A. D. 
General Cunningham was inclined to prolong Trailokya Varmma’s 
reign till 1248 A. D., and to identify him with Dalaki-wa-Malaki, but it is 
needless to discuss that theory which is amply refuted by the previous 
discussions in this paper. 
I am disposed to assign the larger part of the interval between 1202 
and 1280 to the reign of Sandhira Varrnma, on the ground that Parmal
