EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[Vo..xIx.
vara is not applied to him. We know that Pulakesin II aoquired this title as a sign of Paramountoy after defeating Harsha, the paramount lord of the north, who had this title From this we can infer that Badapa was ruling as the supreme lord of the kingdom, and Tala acted as a subordinate and lieutenant. It is not necessary that such charities should be conferred by the reigning prince alone, and starajya-samaya need not necessarily mean the reign of the douor. It may here mean the period during which the once-excluded junior line obtained possession of the kingdom, which, in their view, really belonged to them. Tåla, of course, considered the possession of his elder brother as his own possession.1
