c12.s4.1

Karka II was the son of Nirupama, a younger brother of Kṛṣṇa III and Khoṭṭiga. It cannot be said definitely whether this Nirupama is the same as or different from Jagaṭṭuṅga, who is mentioned as a younger brother of Kṛṣṇa III in the Deoli plates. It would appear that either Khoṭṭiga, like Kṛṣṇa III, left no male issue, or that Karka managed to usurp the throne after his uncle's death.
