Raja Rudradeva of Kumaon, the eldest son of Kakatiya ruler Prola II, was a vassal under the Chalukyas of Kalyani. The 1158 CE Daksharamam inscription, issued by his minister Inangala Brammireddi, marks the earliest known record of his reign. Hara Prasad Shastri (1853–1931) was a distinguished Indian academic, Sanskrit scholar, and historian renowned for discovering the Charyapada, the earliest Bengali literary works. Educated at Calcutta's Sanskrit and Presidency Colleges, he earned acclaim for his MA degree and prestigious title of Shastri. Shastri held esteemed positions at Sanskrit College, Presidency College, and Dhaka University, contributing significantly to the Asiatic Society. His legacy is marked by groundbreaking research, including the cataloging of manuscripts in Nepal and seminal works on Bengali literature and Buddhism.
