The original home of the sena family is belived to be Karnataka from where the senas migrated top Bengal. Samanta Sena has been described in the some inscription as Brahmasns first and subsequently become kastriyas. Hemanta sena, son of Samanta Sena seems to have been succeeded his fathe and he seems to have been a very powerful chief rulling over some parts of Bengal. Hemantasena was succeeded by his son vijoya sena who has to his erdit some very importance inscriptions like Barrackpur copper plate vijoy sena probably ruled for a very long time, i.e over sixty years. Vijoysena was succeeded by his son vallasena in 1158 or 1160A.D. we have onlyn one single important inscription of the time of vallasena,i.e naihati copper plate.
