Sena Dynasty - Senacho (English spelling)

Japanese: セーナ朝 - せーなちょう(英語表記)Sena
Sena Dynasty - Senacho (English spelling)

A 12th century dynasty in Bengal, India. It arose in the Burdwan region at the end of the 11th century, at the time of the fall of the Pala dynasty, and ruled over most of Bengal for 100 years over three generations, advancing into Bihar, and flourished as the strongest dynasty in eastern India. Its kings were worshippers of Shiva and Vishnu, and it is said that they promoted Hinduism in place of the Pala dynasty's protection of Buddhism, and established social order in Bengal. Poets gathered at the court, and Sanskrit literature flourished. In 1199, the third king, Lakshmanasena, was defeated by the Muslim army led by Bakhtiyar, and Bengal was conquered. His sons continued to resist, based in southeastern Bengal, but were eventually destroyed.

Japanese:

12世紀のインド、ベンガルの王朝。11世紀末、パーラ朝滅亡期にブルドワン地区から興起し、3代、100年にわたってベンガルの大部分を領有し、ビハールにも進出して、東部インドの最強の王朝として栄えた。王たちはシバとビシュヌを信奉し、パーラ朝の仏教保護にかわって、ヒンドゥー教を鼓吹し、ベンガルの社会秩序を整えたといわれる。宮廷には詩人が集まり、サンスクリット文学が盛んであった。1199年、第3代ラクシュマナセーナはバクティヤールの率いるムスリム(イスラム教徒)の軍隊に敗れ、ベンガルは征服された。その子たちはベンガル南東部を根拠として抵抗を続けたが、やがて滅ぼされた。
