 المع. . PRE-HISTORIC AND HISTORIC ASAM by Bhaskar Varm was just to the west of the Kid and was bounded on the east ete by the dry bed of the old course of thi, Kosi, earlier form- fathe western boundary of Mithila. The logical conclusion is there fore that at least in the reign of Bhaskar Varma che portion of Mithila was included in Kimarpa. Nor was it so in the days of Bhaskar Varmá alone. He simply replaced the grant of his great-grandfather, Bhuti Varma who was actually the original donor of the grant about fifteenth century AD The scrant in question has a clear reference on this poliitto Candrapuri uliye vartam abhain patinadhlearannien tampayati viditawastu bhavetimetad vista piti Mayara Sil mielomara Retrom Rijnd Sri Bh Varmarkytam yat fat-inrapat- pilt karadamit Mohan jente jyesthabladrón vijfde pumarasgabhi Roue perfokaraplya nam dati.... So Mayura Silmala, may be the name of the land granted, situated in the area of Candrapurl, was definitely to the west of Pundravardhana as it was to the west of the Kol. And we know that Bhakar Varma issued the renewed charter from his victorious camp at Kama-Suvarna after the defeat and death of Sasinko, king of Bengal, showing that the whole of Bengal came to be under the way of Bhaskar Varmá for whatever period it might be Haavardhan came to the throne in 605 A.D. and immediately set out on his expedition against Sulanka, when Bhaskar Varma's ambas- sodor, Hansabega, met him with the proposal of royal alliance. So the renewed charter must have been issued from Kurna Suvarna in the early years of the seventh century. Now, if the great-grand-Father of Bhaskar Varma had his kingdom inclusive of the whole of Bengal and part of Mihili, what happened to it during the reign of Narendra Gupta (Saltuka)? Was it then just recovered from the latter, which was also a point why the first inquiry into the existence or otherwise of the grant necesitated?
