It is mentioned that Khandaga was ruling over Campā (or according to some, Sāvatthī),¹⁹¹ who gave his sister Purandarajasā to Dandagi, the ruler of Kumbhakārakada in marriage. In course of time Khandaga took to the ascetic life and wandering about, reached Kumbhakārakada, where he was crushed to death by the king's envoy. It is said, after death Khandaga was born among the Agnikumāra gods and burnt the whole city to ashes. This place came to be known as Dandakāranna.¹⁹²
