remark (Rep. III, p. 124) that Kittoe mentions a second inscription of this king, also dated in his 19th year (J. 4. S. B., 1848, p. 284).' The date prob. should be corrected and in No. 33.

This prince probably belonged to a collateral line. His inscr, was composed by Morâri, whose son Manoratha composed Kumârapâla's inscription No. 26. Yakshapala, therefore, must be earlier, and should be placed late in the reign of R&mapála, as & subordinate chief or governor. Acc. to Târanâth Yakshapala was son and colleague of Ramapals for 3 years, reigning after him for one year (Schiefner, p. 251). In reality, probably he was a near relative of Râmapala. The date of the inscr. must be about 1128.
