If Mahendra was the brother of Asoka, she probably was the sister, not the daughter, of the latter. According to the \*Mahāvaṁśa\* her death occurred in the ninth year of the reign of king Uttiya. A ruined \*stūpa\* ENE. of the Thūpārāma is believed to have once contained her ashes (\*Mahāvaṁśa\*, ch. 20, transl. Geiger and Wijesinha; Smither, \*Archit. Remains, Anurādhapura\*, p. 9, Pl.
