Mahendra,⁴ which is generally identified with the Mahendra range in Orissa: and he is fabled to have lived on there till long ages later.⁵ He is also fictitiously introduced into tales about later princes (e. g. pp. 67, 72). - [Previous: c22.100](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.100) - [Next: c22.102](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.102) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.101](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.101) · Pramāṇa
