It is said that Damadanta ruled at Hatthīsīsa. Damadanta and the Pāṇḍavas of Hatthināura were not on good terms with each other. Once when the former went to visit the king Jarāsandha of Rāyagaha, the Pāṇḍavas are said to plundered and burnt the city of Hatthīsīsa. Later on, Damadanta besieged Hatthināura and the Pāṇḍavas shut themselves in their palaces in fear.⁴³
