Answer 1

Sandhyakara Nandi dealt with the early history of the Palas in only 10 verses, and then dwelt on his main theme in the rest of the text.
He equates the story of Ramapala with the story of the epic figure Rama. The loss of Varendra to the Kaivarta chief Divya (Divyoka) was equated with the loss of Sita to Ravana and her retrieval by Rama has been equated with the reoccupation of Varendra by Ramapala.
Then he continued the history of the Pala kings to the beginning of Madanapala's reign in the last two cantos of the text. An appendix has been added, Kaviprashasti, in which the poet calls himself Kalikala-valmiki (Valmiki of the Kali age) and gives his genealogy and explains the nature and style of his work.
