Because of this, the chronology of the Pala kings is hard to determine. Based on their different interpretations of the various epigraphs and historical records, different historians estimate the Pala chronology as follows : RC Majumdar ( 1971 ) AM Chowdhury ( 1967 ) BP Sinha ( 1977 ) DC Sircar ( 1975 -- 76 ) D.K. Ganguly ( 1994 ) Gopala I 750 -- 770 756 -- 781 755 -- 783 750 -- 775 750 -- 774 Dharmapala 770 -- 810 781 -- 821 783 -- 820 775 -- 812 774 -- 806 Devapala 810 -- c. 850 821 -- 861 820 -- 860 812 -- 850 806 -- 845 Mahendrapala NA ( Mahendrapala 's existence was conclusively established through a copper - plate charter discovered later. ) 845 -- 860 Shurapala I 850 -- 853 861 -- 866 860 -- 865 850 -- 858 860 -- 872 Vigrahapala I 858 -- 60 872 -- 873 Narayanapala 854 -- 908 866 -- 920 865 -- 920 860 -- 917 873 -- 927 Rajyapala 908 -- 940 920 -- 952 920 -- 952 917 -- 952 927 -- 959 Gopala II 940 -- 957 952 -- 969 952 -- 967 952 -- 972 959 -- 976 Vigrahapala II 960 -- c. 986 969 -- 995 967 -- 980 972 -- 977 976 -- 977 Mahipala I 988 -- c. 1036 995 -- 1043 980 -- 1035 977 -- 1027 977 -- 1027 Nayapala 1038 -- 1053 1043 -- 1058 1035 -- 1050 1027 -- 1043 1027 -- 1043 Vigrahapala III 1054 -- 1072 1058 -- 1075 1050 -- 1076 1043 -- 1070 1043 -- 1070 Mahipala II 1072 -- 1075 1075 -- 1080 1076 -- 1078 / 9 1070 -- 1071 1070 -- 1071 Shurapala 1075 -- 1077 1080 -- 1082 1071 -- 1072 1071 -- 1072 Ramapala 1077 -- 1130 1082 -- 1124 1078 / 9 -- 1132 1072 -- 1126 1072 -- 1126 Kumarapala 1130 -- 1125 1124 -- 1129 1132 -- 1136 1126 -- 1128 1126 -- 1128 Gopala III 1140 -- 1144 1129 -- 1143 1136 -- 1144 1128 -- 1143 1128 -- 1143 Madanapala 1144 -- 1162 1143 -- 1162 1144 -- 1161 / 62 1143 -- 1161 1143 -- 1161 Govindapala 1155 -- 1159 NA 1162 -- 1176 or 1158 -- 1162 1161 -- 1165 1161 -- 1165 Palapala NA NA NA 1165 -- 1199 1165 -- 1200 Note : Earlier historians believed that Vigrahapala I and Shurapala I were the two names of the same person. Now, it is known that these two were cousins ; they either ruled simultaneously ( perhaps over different territories ) or in rapid succession. AM Chowdhury rejects Govindapala and his successor Palapala as the members of the imperial Pala dynasty. According to BP Sinha, the Gaya inscription can be read as either the `` 14th year of Govindapala 's reign '' or `` 14th year after Govindapala 's reign ''. Thus, two sets of dates are possible.
