Seven of the inscriptions give the initial year = 1200-1 faka. 
One copperplate inscription of Kendupatna gives the initial year 
= 1201-2 faka, but it makes a mistake of one year in the faka year, 
and therefore presumably also in the aqka year. One inscription (No. 
297) apparently makes mistakes both in the faka and aijka year, if 
the tithi and week-day given be correct. 
The initial year given by the majority of the inscriptions thus falls 
in faka 1200-1. 
No regnal year of the succeeding king being known, we have to fall 
back upon the year assigned by the Puri cop

to 28th year. This agrees with the initial year of his grandson Nrsimha 
Deva III, as seen below :—

The Kendupatna copperplates, 3 series, end in this king.
