“To conclude, however, from this evidence that he continued as a Saiva to the end of his hife does hot seem reasonable, noc only in view of Yuan Chawang’s testimony which shows that by 643 A. D. Siva had gone to the third place in Harsa’s estimation, but also on account of the testimony from Harsa’s own works and his biography by the court historiographer and poet, Bana.”
