The relationship between Kumārapāla and his successors is usually left uncertain in the chronicles and inscriptions. But the *Dvyāśraya* of Hemacandra and the *Therāvalī* of Merutuṅga tell us that Ajayapāla was the son of Mahīpāla,⁶ a brother of Kumārapāla.⁷ This statement is supported by a Patan inscription at Veraval, which calls Ajayapāla the brother's son of Kumārapāla.¹ The *Ā'īn-i-Akbarī* also calls Ajayapāla the nephew of Kumārapāla.²
