Gangadeva
Gangadeva (also known as Gangeyadeva) was the second ruler of the Karnat dynasty of Mithila. He succeeded his father Nanyadeva as King in 1147 and ruled until 1187. Rule There is controversy surrounding the succession of the throne of Mithila following Nanyadeva's death as he was recorded as having two sons, Malladeva and Gangadeva however most inscriptions and manuscripts detail Gangadeva's rule only. The Pratap Malla inscription of Kathmandu details that Gangadeva came to the throne in 1147 and was considered to be a very brave King. He was a contemporary of King Madanpala of the Pala's of neighbouring Bengal and led attacks against them regaining some of the territories that had been lost during Nanyadeva's reign while also gaining new territory. The ''Ramacharitam'' also details that both Nanyadeva and Gangadeva claimed some sort of political authority in Gauda as he was declared as ''Gaudadwhaj''. Following the downfall of the Palas, the Sena dynasty came into power in ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karnat Dynasty
Karnat or Karnata dynasty was a Maithil dynasty established in 1097 CE. The dynasty had two capitals which were Simraungadh in Bara District of Nepal and Darbhanga, Bihar which became the second capital during the reign of Gangadeva. The kingdom controlled the areas we today know as Tirhut or Mithila in Bihar state of India and Nepal. This region is bounded by the Mahananda River in the east, the Ganges in the south, the Gandaki River in the west and by the Himalayas in the North. Under the Karnats, Mithila enjoyed almost full sovereignty from 1097 until 1324. According to French orientalist and indologist Sylvain Lévi, Nanyadeva established his supremacy over Simraungadh probably with the help of Chalukya king Vikramaditya VI. After the reign of Vikramaditya VI in 1076 CE, he led the successful military campaign against the Pala dynasty and the Sena dynasty. During the reign of Harisimhadeva, the Karnats also carried out raids into Nepal with the Karnat army under the leadership ...

Malladeva
Malladeva was the son of the Karnat dynasty King, Nanyadeva and a prince of Mithila. According to some scholars, Malladeva has been referred to as the "forgotten King of Mithila" as most records and traditions note that his brother Gangadeva succeeded his father as ruler of the dynasty.

In the village, an inscription was found which read "Om Shree Malladevasya" and many Karnat-era sculptures have been found in the area. Malladeva has also been mentioned in the work of the poet, Vidyapati who described him as a "valiant warrior" who served in the army of King Jayachandra of Kannauj but left as his quarrelsome nature led to major disagreements and he was forced to return to Mithila. Local tradition asserts that he was not on good terms with his brother Gangadeva. Folk tradition also asserts that the villages of Maldiha in Purnea district and Mal ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit (measurement), unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest Positive number, positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the sequence (mathematics), infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally ac ...
