Devapala (Bengali: দেবপাল) (9th century), also known as Devapala the Great,[1][2][3][4] emperor of the Pala Empire of Bengal. He was the third king in the line, and had succeeded his father Dharamapala. Devapala expanded the frontiers of the empire by conquering the present-day Assam and Orissa.[5] The Pala inscriptions also credit him with several other victories, but these claims are thought to be exaggerated.
