FROM THE IMPERIAL CHRONICLE
Gopal III
A tenth-century ruler whose numbering differs across historical reconstructions.
The Gopal who followed Rajyapal is listed as Gopal III in one influential modern reconstruction; other historians count the names differently.
Accounts of his reign are scanty and suggest that rival regional powers constrained royal authority. The dynasty nevertheless retained a territorial and ceremonial core.
The site's numbering follows one transparent sequence, with alternate numbering acknowledged rather than suppressed.
