Barua has made an interesting comment that Prithu was one of
the distant successors of Vaidyadeva. 125 The scholar has further
stated that there were at least two successors of Prithu who had
continued their rule from Kamrupa-nagara. 126 That means, from
the time of Dharmapala to the middle of 13th century Kamrupa-
nagara served as the seat of active politics.
Whatever might be the fact, Vaidyadeva was a great
ruler who had started his career as an illustrious minister in the
ministry of Kumarapala of Gauda and ultimately by taking the
opportunity of the weakness of Kamrupi King he established himself
as the ruler of Kamrupa. He was the first man from the side of
Gauda who not only conquered Kamrupa but also establish here
an independent Kingdom.鹿 127 His Kamauli grant has mention about
a city named as Hamsakonci. 128 It appears that this city was the
seat of his government 129 wherefrom Vaidyadeva granted the
charter to brahman named Sridhara. However, Hamsakonci was
not the permanent seat of his government as it being often referred
simply as a victorious camp. Under such circumstances Kamrupa-
nagara seem to be the real seat of his government.

Depending on the suffix konci of the term scholar like K. L.
Barua tried to confirm the location of this place somewhere
around Kamrupa district.
129. It was a victorious camp as the term Jayaskandavara indicate.
