Accordingly, “The sons of Jatiga II were named Goṅkala and Gūvala (I), who were thunderbolts to the chief mountains that were their foes. That Goṅkala’s son was the illustrious king Mārasiṃha, a lion to the elephants in the form of his enemies, a serpent to the hostile army, the Director on the field of battle, who was far-famed and was a veritable Parijata to learned men”.
