§ 194. The first G a ṅ g a king came in by right of conquest, presumably as a general of the P a l l a v a s or the main V ā k ā ṭ a k a s, which is suggested by their title G a ṅ g a. He acquired a country of ‘gentlemanly population’ [sva-bhuja-java-jaya-janita-sujana-janapadasya], having fought terrible enemies (dāruṇa-arigaṇa°). The king was ‘adorned with marks of wounds (in battle)’ [labdha-vraṇa-bhūṣaṇasya Kāṇvāyana-sagotrasya Śrīmat K o ṅ k a ṇ i-v a r m a-d h a r m a-m a h ā d h i r ā j a s y a].
