Vijayapala (c. 1035-1050 AD)After death of Vidyadhara, his son Vijayapala ruled here. The Nanyaura and Charkhari copper plates of his son Devavarman give the usual titles viz., Paramabhattaraka, Maharajadhiraja and Parmeshvara. The Mau inscription refers his wide spread fame and virtuous conduct.
Vijayapala had at least two sons, viz., Devavarman who succeeded him to the throne and Kirtivarman who inherited the kingdom after the death of his elder brother. The Nanyaura copper-plate mentions Rajni Bhuvanadevi, mother of Devavarman.
Devavarman (c. 1050-1060 AD)
Devavarman, the son of Vijayapala, has not been mentioned in the later records of the family, but his existence is well established by Nanyaura (V.S. 1107) and Charkhari (V.S. 1108) copper-plates issued by him.
The Nanyaura plate stated that he surpassed Yudhisthira by his truthfulness, Karna by his munificence, the Ocean by his depth, Indra by his majesty, Kama by his handsomeness, and both Shukra and Vachaspati by his intelligence.
The Charkhari plate gives him the epithet of ‘mahasamanta rajaputra-vandita-padah’ (whose feet were worshipped by the great feudatory princes).
