Yaśovarman had a son named Dhaṅga by his queen Puppādevī.⁴ The Dudahi stone inscriptions reveal the existence of probably another son of Yaśovarman. These records, six in number, were discovered in a temple of the village of Dudahi in the Lalitpur district of U. P. (Long. 78°27′E., Lat. 24°24′N.). We know from these inscriptions that the temple was erected by the illustrious Devalabdhi belonging to the *Candrellānvaya*, the son of the illustrious Kṛṣṇapa and Āsarvā and the grandson (*naptṛ*) of *Mahārājādhirāja* Yaśovarman.⁵ Cunningham's identification of this Yaśovarman with Candella Yaśovarman of Khajraho has been generally accepted by scholars.⁶
