THE PURI PLATES OF MADHAVAVARMAN-SAINYABHITA.
127
the remark of Dr. Chakravartil who, following the late Mr. R. D. Banerji, says that inspite of palæographic difficulty the Buguda and Ganjām plates might have to be assigned to one and the same ruler. We are, however, glad to note that he feels inclined to place the Pärikud grant towards the end of the 7th or the early part of the 8th century A.D. On the above considerations, we have also taken the first Sainyabhīta-Mädhavarāja of the Khurda and Ganjām grants as identical with the first Sainyabhita of the Buguda and our Puri plates, in whose family Ayasõbhīta (No. 5) is described therein as being born. Hence the genealogy of the first six kings of the Sailödbhava dynasty according to our opinion should be settled as follows
Sailodbhava
1. Aranabhīta
2. Sainyabhita I (=Mādhavarāja I)
3. Ayasõbhita I
4. Sainyabhīta II (=Mādhavarāja II, A. D. 619-20)
5. Ayaśābhīta II
6. Sainyabhīta III (=Mādhavavarman Srinivisa). With these introductory words I edit the grant for the first time from the original plates and the inked impressions supplied by the Government Epigraphist.
