His sons are to this day rulers of the territory of Barg.’³ In Raverty’s translation we have, ‘Lakhmaṇa got away towards Sankanāt-Saknāt and Bang, and there the period of his reign shortly came to a termination. His descendants up to this time are rulers in the country of Bang.’⁴ - [Previous: c14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.2) - [Next: c14.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.4) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.3) · Pramāṇa
