lived in "Nepal some time, but was poisoned 1 after some years * 1 ( Jcati - 
payavarsantare ). After this his brother Gropaladeva accompanied by 
Jagatsimhadeva (called in V L Karnatava[m]saja and in V 3 (496) 
“ Tirhuti-ya Jagatsimhakumara ”) seized tbe person of Nayakadevi 2 . 
The allies then appear to have taken Bhatgaon and Patan. Gopala- 
deva was subsequently beheaded by Jagatsimha’s followers. After 
this the prince Jagatsimha enjoyed the sovereignty fora few days; 
but he was afterwards put into confinement, 3 ; by whom we are 
not told. His daughter was Rajal[l]adevl 4 ; and her mother 
Nayakadevi died 10 days after her birth ; so that (like her mother) she 
was brought up by her paternal grandmother, whose name was Devala- 
devl. I do not understand the reference to Pasupatimal[l]adeva 6 that 
immediately follows (Plate ; fig. 8, 1. 1). Possibly he was the represen¬ 
tative of some rival line of kings, as we read directly after, that “ by the 
consent of both royal families Jayarajadeva was made king on 467 
S'ravana badi 4 ” which was subsequently 6 ratified by general consent. 
About the reign of Jayaraja’s son and successor Jayarjuna some 
uncertainty remains, though this could probably be removed by the full 
interpretation of the present chronicle. Passed overby all the histories, 
his existence and reign were first pointed out by the present writer 
from the colophons of Cambridge MSS. Even in the present chronicle 
his reign and its duration are not formally recorded, though he is 
several times referred to as ‘ S'ri Jayarjuna raja’ and ‘ Jayarjuna-nrpa. ’ 
The reason of all this is not far to seek. 
In 474 7 , that is while Jayarajadeva was still reigning, took place

4 We are told in YS (5 It) that this princess’s mother was Nayakadevi; so 
that Jagatsirpha carried off the bride of his ally’s brother, liajalla was born N.S.

6 More is said of him and (possibly the same) ‘ bandhana ’ in YS (52 a) under 
date 469 Margas, su. 12. 
6 The punctuation of fig. 8 1.2 would lead one to suppose at first sight that 
the general ratification preceded the particular one (Yaisakha being 3 months earlier); 
but the second date doubtless refers to the birth. In all birth-entries the date comes 
first. 0
