The difference of the patronymics, Traivṛṣṇa and Traidhātva, by which he is referred to can best be explained by assuming that there were two kings, Trivṛṣan and Tridhātu (or possibly Tridhanvan), from whom Tryaruṇa was descended.⁸ The connexion with the Ikṣvākus is important (see Ikṣvāku). - [Previous: v1.c3.s17.570](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.570) - [Next: v1.c3.s17.572](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.572) - [Up: v1.c3.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.571](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s17.571) · Pramāṇa
