Now, it is known that these two were cousins; they either ruled simultaneously (perhaps over different territories) or in rapid succession. AM Chowdhury rejects Govindapala and his successor Palapala as the members of the imperial Pala dynasty. According to BP Sinha, the Gaya inscription can be read as either the 14th year of Govindapalas reign or 14th year after Govindapalas reign. Thus, two sets of dates are possible.
