v1.c24.8

1 Dhanika cites (on iv 54-55) one of Muñja's verses twice, citing him in the first instance as Muñja and in the other case as Vākpatirāja-deva; while Dhanapāla in his *Tilaka-mañjarī* uses both the names with respect to the same person. One of Muñja's descendants, Arjunavarman, who ruled in the beginning of the 13th century, reproduces one of Muñja's stanzas, with the remark that it was composed by one of his ancestors, "Muñja, whose other name was Vākpatirāja" (Comm. on *Amaru-śataka*, ed. Kāvyamālā 18, 1916, p. 23). This verse is attributed to Muñja also by Jalhaṇa 106a.
