The relationship between Mahīpāla and his predecessor is not clear. In some passages his father Sūryapāla is referred to as *nṛpa*.¹ But as he is called a brother of Padmapāla, we may infer that his father Sūryapāla was a son of Mūladeva and uncle of Padmapāla. In that case Mahīpāla was the first cousin of his immediate predecessor.
