The Pāli is evidently more primitive, as is shown by the form Okkāmukha, and the name Ikṣavāku looks like a deliberate attempt to accommodation to the Purāṇic account.¹⁰ - [Previous: v1.c11.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.26) - [Next: v1.c11.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.28) - [Up: v1.c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.27) · Pramāṇa
