Mahendrapala

Mahendrapala (Bengali: মহেন্দ্রপাল; r. c. 845–860)[1] was the fourth king of the Pala dynasty of the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent.

However, the discovery of the Jagjivanpur copper plate charter issued by Mahendrapala made it clear that he was a distinct Pala emperor, who succeeded Devapala.

[4] The grant is dated in his 7th regnal year and issued from the Kuddalakhataka jayaskandhavara (the camp of victory).

[7] Mahendrapala appears to have retained the Pala control over North Bengal and Bihar.

He possibly carried out further campaigns against the Hunas and the Utkalas, and passed his empire intact to his younger brother and successor, Shurapala I.
