Rajyapal
A link in the long succession through which the dynasty survived shifting political fortunes.
Rajyapal succeeded Narayanpal in traditional dynastic lists. Copperplates and genealogical verses identify his position in the family line.
The political geography of his reign is difficult to recover in detail. Instead of treating later dynastic claims as a fixed map, historians analyse the locality and administrative terms recorded in each grant.
His reign illustrates the quieter but essential work of maintaining inherited institutions across a long-lived dynasty.
