Kamarupa – Late to end period  Kamarupa – Late to end period was a period of Kamarupa kingdom from founding of Pala Dynasty by Brahma Pala to last ruler of dynasty Jaya Pala. According to the inscription of Ratna Pala, when Tyaga Singha of Mlechha dynasty died leaving no heir to succeed him the people elected Brahma Pala to be their king. It find here a parallel to the tradition that in order to remove the anarchy in Magadha and Gauda the people of those countries elected Gopala, the first Pala ruler of Magadha, as their king about the end of the eighth century. Such election by popular vote was clearly a myth. The fact is that both Gopala in Magadha and Brahma Pala in Kamarupa were actually adventurous upstarts who, finding the throne vacant, collected a following and proclaimed themselves as kings. As there was no one else strong enough to dispute the pretensions of Gopala or Brahma Pala the people had no other alternative but to accept them as their rulers. After Brahma Pala became king it was perhaps given out that he was a king chosen by the people, like Gopala, and, it seems that in imitation of the Pala rulers of Magadha and Gauda, he assumed the surname Pala. The writer of the Ratna Pala inscription, in order to make the story of popular election look more probable, added that Brahma Pala was it scion of the Bhagadatta of dynasty and that is why the choice of the people fell upon him. It is stated in the Ratna Pala inscription that Brahma Pala was it warrior who could single handed overcome his enemy in battle. He was evidently a powerful and resourceful leader; otherwise he could not have secured the throne. He was a young man when he became king, for it was after his accession that he married Kula Devi by whom he had it son named Ratna Pala. It is not known whether Brahma Pala had a long reign like his son but it appears that when Ratna Pala grew up Brahma Pala abdicated in his favour, probably to avoid it dispute relating to succession. During Brahma Pala's reign Kamarupa was attacked by Jatavarman, son of Vajravarman of the Varman dynasty which ruled probably in Eastern Magadha when the Pala power began to wane.
