Nayapala (ruled 1038–1055) is the name of twelfth ruler of the
regions. Nayapala, the son of Mahipala I, defeated the Kalachuri king Karna after a long struggle. The two later signed a peace treaty at the mediation of the Buddhist scholar Atiśa.[1]Narayanapala's Bhagalpur inscription suggests that he built several Shiva temples, and records his grant of a village to Pashupatas. [2] Narayanpala also attended a sacrifice by his Brahmin minister. [3]Nayapala's Siyan inscription suggests that he built several temples dedicated to Shiva and his various aspects (such as Bhairava), plus temples dedicated to the Nine Durgas, the Mother Goddess, Vishnu, and Lakshmi.
