You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((History of Bengal))

'''Deva Dynasty''' (c. 12th – 13th centuries) was a [[Bengali Hindu]] dynasty which originated in the [[Bengal]] region of the [[Indian subcontinent]]; the dynasty ruled over eastern Bengal after the [[Sena dynasty]]. The capital of the dynasty was [[Bikrampur]] in present-day [[Munshiganj District]] of [[Bangladesh]].

This Hindu [[Vaishnava]] Deva dynasty is different from the earlier Buddhist Deva dynasty (c. 8th-9th centuries) of [[Samatata]] region of [[Bengal]]. Four rulers of this earlier Deva dynasty are known from the inscriptions: Shantideva, Viradeva, Anandadeva and Bhavadeva. According to the Mainamati copperplate inscription of king Anandadeva, the earlier Deva rulers used the title ''Sri Bangala Mriganka'' which means the moon of Bengal.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=TlnoMdZu40UC&pg=PA462&lpg=PA462&dq=vangalamriganka&source=bl&ots=Nyms-lqKV5&sig=ACfU3U2UF1HFcz7y2Hmv68wo3df9aoYLLw&hl=en&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwj73-SJw6uEAxXP2DgGHT99B1wQ6AF6BAgQEAI#v=onepage&q=vangalamriganka&f=false|title=Gold coins of the World))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?|title=Copperplates, Banglapedia))</ref> The rule of the Devas was indeed a period of peace, prosperity, and creative excellence, and may be designated as the "Golden Age" of [[Bengal]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Deva_Dynasty|title=Deva dynasty of Samatata, Banglapedia|access-date=8 July 2023|archive-date=8 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230708134740/https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Deva_Dynasty|url-status=live))</ref>

==Rulers==

The major sources of the history of this dynasty are the three copperplate inscriptions of Damodaradeva issued in years 1234, 1236 and 1243, which were his 4th, 6th and 13th [[regnal year]]s. Although there are many myths about this dynasty, none were proved with strong evidence. The first three rulers are known from the Chittagong copperplate inscription of Damodaradeva dated 1243. The first ruler of this dynasty was Purushottamadeva, who rose from the position of a village chief (''gramani''). His son Madhumathana or Madhusudanadeva was the first independent ruler of this dynasty, who assumed the title of ''nripati''. He was succeeded by his son Vasudeva and Vasudeva was succeeded by his son Damodaradeva. Damodaradeva (reigned 1231–1243) was the most powerful ruler of this dynasty. He took the title of ''Ariraja-Chanura-Madhava-Sakala-Bhupati-Chakravarti''. The inscriptional evidences show that his kingdom was extended up to the present-day [[Comilla District|Comilla]]-[[Noakhali district|Noakhali]]-[[Chittagong District|Chittagong]] region. A later ruler of this dynasty ''Ariraja-Danuja-Madhava'' [[Dasharathadeva]] extended his kingdom up to [[Bikrampur]] and made it his capital.<ref>Roy, Niharranjan (1993).

This is the last recorded history of this dynasty.
