10 C. Bendall— History of Nepal and surrounding Kingdoms. [No. 1, 
still remains uncertain, it is satisfactory to find that this long interval is 
shortened on both sides by dated reigns that may be regarded as 
fixed. 
The first of these is the reign of Jayanandadeva which followed 1 
that of Ananta and is certified by a date (N.S. 438) -in the Catalogue 
(p. 73) which I had previously noted in the MS. The next king, accord¬ 
ing to the chronicle, was Jayarudramalla. 3 His accession, the corona-, 
tion of his co-regent, and his own death ( svargastha ) and “suttee” 
of his four wives are recorded. It is probably significant that the date 
given in two sections of the chronicle for the last event is only a few 
months 8 after the invasion of Harisimhadeva of Simraon. 
The history of the next twenty years cannot at present be satisfac¬ 
torily told, until the Newari of Y 8 has been interpreted. Besides the 
well-attested invasion of Harisimhadeva, several other foreign powers 
made themselves felt at this time. One of these was an invasion by, 
Adit[y]amalla. After narrating the death of Jayarudra, V 1 adds merely 
Tlfag: II But V 8 narrates the same event more 
fully. The Newari sentence begins aac *§fw Tl^TT 
(46a; PI., fig. 10. 2 ),' so that we learn the exact date (448 
Phalguna sudi 7) and the interesting fact that Aditya was a king of 
Western Nepal, thus foreshadowing the Gorkha conquest of more recent 
times. 
Returning to the semi-Sanskrit account of V 1 , which curiously 
makes no mention of the invasion of Harisirpha, we find (27 b) that 
an infant son of Jayarudra died a few days after his father’s death. 
His daughter Satl-nayakadevI was placed under the guardianship of 
her grandmother Padumalladevi. 4 The young princess (after being 
crowned Raul, according to Kirkpatrick), was married to Haricandra- 
deva belonging to the royal family of Benares. 6 He appears to have

an interval between the two latter reigns. Fleet, Gupta Inscrr. Introd. p. 186 
contrasts the meanings of antare and anantaram, especially in the records of Nepal. 
2 A co-regent of this king was Jayarimalla. The mention of this prince in V. 
ff. 27 a fin. 276) is very obscure, but V2 distinctly describes him (45a.) as Samrdja 
(with Jayarudra) between N.S. 440 at 443. He died in 464 ( ib . 506).
