³ In one of the Ikṣvāku inscriptions (E.I., XX, 23) all the three kings are called ‘mahārāja’. This is one of the last records. Probably at that time the independent position had been lost. They had been originally mahārājas. The first Ikṣvāku to adopt the title of king (rājan) was Vira Purushadatta. His son was only Mahārāja.
