Evidence On Later Kamboja Rulers in Bengal

There is a literary evidence which attests one Kamboja king known as Jagan Nath ruling in Bengal as late as that 16th century. King Jagan Nath is stated to have patronized a Brahmana scholar Sura Mishra who had composed Jagannathaprakasa, a Smriti Granth in honor of this Kamboja king:

Ashesh.Kambojakula.vatansah Shri Jagana Natha iti parsidhah
Akaryad dharmanibandhmaytam dhradhipaiapayairkablai nreshe

This shows that the Kamboja rule in some parts of Bengal must have continued, as late as 16th century.

Famous quotes containing the words evidence, rulers and/or bengal:

    If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    In Bengal to move at all
    Is seldom, if ever, done,
    But mad dogs and Englishmen
    Go out in the midday sun.
