	Visvarupa - Report Vol. II Page 7
		The king of Kira is interpreted to mean the king of Kashmir, the lord of Bhota to refer to the Tibetan ruler.
		As the Prat¢h¡ra were the overlords of the Candellas, and since Yasovarman acquired his original Kashmiri Vaiku¸¶ha image from Devapala, a Prat¢h¡ra prince, this influences understandable.
		The date of this icon coming into Yasovarman's possession would be around AD 944, the earliest date on which the Candellas could have occupied Rakhetra, and the fragmentary Vaiku¸¶ha sculpture discovered there is probably part of the earliest stone copy made of it.

		For example, one of the objects of the endowments mentioned in the Nalanda plate of Devapala was the writing of the Buddhist texts.[7] This copper plate of Devapala further mentions that the endowment recorded in the inscription was also for the maintenance of viharas built by the ruler of Suvarnadvipa.
		So Devapala was not a natural son of Gopala and had a naga origin.
		In his accession to the throne, Devapala's Buddhist preceptor[73] had advised him to--"Prepare a wick from the clothes of the sramanas and obtain oil from the houses of kings and merchants and get a lamp from the hermitage, light it, put it before the tutelary deity and pray.

		The successors of devapala (c 821-861) lacked vigour and prowess.
		The dynastic trouble that followed the death of Devapala seemed to have sapped the vitality of the Palas and the rulers were not powerful enough to check incursions from outside or uprisings from inside their borders.
		During the reigns of Gopala II and Vigrahapala II, the two immediate predecessors of Mahipala, Bengal had to face repeated invasions of the Chandellas and the Kalachuris, the new powers that arose out of the ruins of the Pratihara empire in northern India.

		After Devapala’s death, the decline of the Pala dynasty in North India was rapid.
		Northern Bengal was first invaded and annexed by the king of Pratihara, Mahendrapala, sometime before 898 AD and later northern and western Bengal were annexed by the Kambojas, a powerful hill tribe from the north or the east.
		The similarities beween the Kamboja Pala king RAJYAPALA and the so-called PALA RAJYAPALA are so strong and powerfull that Dr Majuimdar, Dr Gosh and some other scholars etc are tempted to regard the two dynasties of Bengal as one the same.

		Considering its age, the Lakshmana Temple is remarkably well-preserved; in fact it is one of the best preserved temples of the whole lot.
		According to the inscription on the Lakshmana Temple, it was built by a certain King Yasovarman to install a Vaikuntha-Vishnu image (which can still be seen here) gifted to him by his Pratihara overlord, Devapala.
		The image was brought originally from Tibet (or Bhosa as it was known then), where the cult of worshipping Vishnu in his Vaikuntha (the multi-headed Vishnu) avatar was popular.

		Not surprisingly, we find the Kambojas as militarily clashing with Devapala, the great Pala king of Bengal in ninth c AD and finally wresting political control of north-eastern Bengal from Palas in 11/12th c AD.
		Thus there is every possibility that the Kambojas from north-west were in political as well as commercial communication with Bengal and that the Tamraliptika of Eastern India, as the important take-off port from Bengal to Suvarnabhumi was not unknown to the Kambojas.
		“In the Copper plates discovered at Monghyr, we read in connection with conquest of Devapala that the young horses of Kamboja were employed by king Devapala of Bengal and when they returned to Kamboja, they were delighted to be with their beloveds” (Vangalar Itihaas, pp 1790180, by R. Banerjee).
