The word Chula was derived from Sanskrit Kshudra, meaning small in contrast to Mahā big and the two Kokā Devatās were elder and younger sister divinities. The word Kokā means a lizard, a ruddy goose, a wolf, and a frog. It appears that in association with the Mother Goddess the house lizard was more commonly depicted on the ring stones and the same meaning is implied here. The figure of Mahākokā was not available to Cunningham but was recently traced by Pt. B. M. Vyās as preserved in the palace of the ruler of Nagod.
