In the “History of Mithila (1956)” Upendra Thakur, has also briefly mentioned about the inscription. It has been mentioned that Karmaditya Thakkura was probably the minister of peace and war in the time of the Karnata ruler Ramasimha, who was fourth in descent from Nanyadeva, the founder of the Karnata dynasty.
The sources for this identification have been mentioned as Candesvara Krtya Chintamani and the Maithila Panji Prabhandha. The inscription of Karmaditya dated LS 212 has been mentioned as unnoticed, and it is mentioned that the Tilkesvara temple bears the name of Karmaditya. While the exact origin of the Lakshmanasena Samvat is still not clear, several inscriptions in the Mithila region are dated in the L.S., indicating that Lakshmansena must have dominated the affairs of Mithila at some time in history.
However, the known Lakshmansena was a ruler of Gauda in Bengal in much later times, though his influence was felt in the Mithila regions as well. The origin of the era however is generally taken as between 1107 to 1119 A.D. (Ref Page No. 249, History of Mithila. This will take the age of the temple of Haihatt Devi in L.S. 212 to be read as of 1107 / 1119 + 212 = 1319 / 1331 A.D. This however contradicts the age of Ramasimhadeva (1218 -1276 A.D), of whom Karmaditya mentioned in the inscription, was a minister.
