Answer: (B)
\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>Statement I is correct because the capital of Vaidyanath\u2013Kartikeyapura<\/strong> was established in the Gomati Valley of Kumaon<\/strong> by a descendant of Subhiksharaj Deva<\/strong>, who was the last ruler of the Third Family and the 14th ruler of the Kartikeyapura dynasty. His successors shifted the capital to a new region.
Statement II is correct because the Baijnath inscriptions<\/strong> mention the name of this capital as Vaidyanath\u2013Kartikeyapura<\/strong>, confirming its historical and religious significance.
Statement III is correct because this new ruling line is identified as the Fourth Family or the Pala dynasty<\/strong>, as the suffix \u201cPala\u201d<\/em> appears in the names of its rulers.
Statement IV is incorrect because Basantadeva<\/strong> belonged to the First Family and ruled much earlier; he did not establish this capital.
Hence, only the first three statements are correct.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

Q2. According to the information obtained from the Baijnath inscriptions, what is the correct order of the rulers of the Pala dynasty (Fourth Family)?
\n<\/strong>(A) Tribhuvanapala Deva \u2013 Lakhanapala Deva \u2013 Indrapala Deva
(B) Lakhanapala Deva \u2013 Indrapala Deva \u2013 Tribhuvanapala Deva
(C) Indrapala Deva \u2013 Lakhanapala Deva \u2013 Tribhuvanapala Deva
(D) Lakhanapala Deva \u2013 Tribhuvanapala Deva \u2013 Indrapala Deva
\n

Answer: (B)
\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>The Baijnath inscriptions mention the rulers of Vaidyanath\u2013Kartikeyapura<\/strong> in the following order:
Lakhanapala Deva \u2192 Indrapala Deva \u2192 Tribhuvanapala Deva<\/strong>.
\nLakhanapala Deva was the first known ruler of this dynasty and established authority in the Gomati Valley as a descendant of Subhiksharaj Deva. He was succeeded by Indrapala Deva, and finally by Tribhuvanapala Deva. The continuous use of the suffix \u201cPala\u201d<\/strong> in their names became the identifying feature of this dynasty.
Other options present incorrect sequences.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>(A) This family ruled in Bengal and followed Shaivism
(B) This family ruled from Vaidyanath\u2013Kartikeyapura in the Gomati Valley of Kumaon, and due to the suffix \u201cPala\u201d in the rulers\u2019 names, it is known as the Pala dynasty

(D) This family was limited only to religious activities and had no political importance

\n<\/strong>Explanation: <\/strong>The Fourth Family<\/strong>, also known as the Pala dynasty<\/strong>, ruled from Vaidyanath\u2013Kartikeyapura<\/strong> in the Gomati Valley of Kumaon<\/strong>. This capital was established by a descendant of Subhiksharaj Deva.
The rulers\u2014Lakhanapala Deva, Indrapala Deva, and Tribhuvanapala Deva<\/strong>\u2014all used the suffix \u201cPala\u201d<\/em>, which likely means protector<\/em> or guardian<\/em>, symbolizing royal authority.
The Gomati Valley\u2019s strategic and economic location made it an important administrative center.
Other options are incorrect because they misrepresent the region, religion, or political role of this dynasty.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
