:''This article is about the King Mahendrapala of the Pala dynasty. For Gurjara-Pratihara king, see Mahenderpal I''. Mahendrapala refers to the fourth king of the Pala dynasty of the Bengal region in India. He was the son of Devapala and his queen Mahata. Mahendrapala has been mentioned in some Pala records, but earlier, the historians used to believe that these mentions referred to the Gurjara-Pratihara king Mahendrapala I. 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. The charter, issued in the 7th year of Mahendrapala's reign (believed to be 854 CE), mentions the construction of a monastery at Nandadirghika Udranga by Mahendrapala's ''mahasenapati'' ("great general") Vajradeva.〔(Bengal museum to reconstruct excavated Buddhist site )〕 The grant is dated in his 7th regnal year and issued from the Kuddalakhataka ''jayaskandhavara'' (the camp of victory).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jagjivanpur, A newly discovered Buddhist site in west Bengal ) 〕 Mahendrapala was succeeded by Shurapala I. According to the Jagjivanpur inscription, Shurapala I was Mahendrapala's younger brother and royal envoy. Mahendrapala appears to have retained the Pala control over Bengal and Bihar.〔 ==See also== *List of rulers of Bengal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahendrapala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
