It seems Seniya also had daughters. We are told in the *Avasayaka cūrṇi*²⁷ that he married one of his daughters to the son of Kayapuṇṇa of Rāyagiha, who is said to have saved his pet elephant Secanaka from the jaws of a crocodile. The same work also mentions a sister of king Seniya, Seṇā by name. She was given to a Vijjāhara in marriage, but she was killed by the Vijjāharas. Seṇā had given birth to a daughter who was sent to Seniya after the death of her mother and was given to Abhaya-kumāra in marriage.²⁸
