Naranarayan ((アッサム語:নৰনাৰায়ণ)), ((ベンガル語:নরনারায়ণ)) (reign 1540–1587)〔The end of Naranarayan's reign is based on numismatic evidence: the earliest dates of coins issued by Lakshminarayan and Raghudev. 〕 was the last ruler of the undivided Koch kingdom of Kamata. He succeeded his father Biswa Singha. Under him the Koch kingdom reached its cultural and political zenith. Under his rule, and under the military command of his brother Chilarai, he was able to subjugate the entire Brahmaputra valley, including the Ahom kingdom; besides the Kachari, Tripura and Manipur kingdoms, as well as the Khyrem, Jaintia and others. This influence was halted when he faced Suleman Karranni of Bengal. He introduced a silver coin, called the ''Narayani'', that greatly influenced the numismatics of Assam. His gave Srimanta Sankardeva the first royal patronage to Ekasarana Dharma. ==Ascension== At the time of his father's death, Naranaryan and his step brother, Chilarai, were in Varanasi and another brother, Nara Singha, succeed the throne. Malladev, as he was then known, hastened back with Chilarai and with the help of their supporters among the courtier, took over the throne. Nara Singha was pursued, who escaped first to the Morung kingdom,〔Morung is the Terai region west of the Mechi river, to the west of the Koch kingdom. 〕 and thence to Nepal and finally Kashmir. Malladev ascended the throne in 1540, in the same year that his father had died, and acquired the title Narayan, which was to become the dynastic title of his succeeding kings. He issued coins, and his seal was made. He appointed his step-brother Chilarai (then known as Sukladhwaj) the ''yuvaraj'' (somewhat akin to "prime minister") and the commander-in-chief of the military. 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「Nara Narayan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
