Goṭhaimbara.—One of Duṭṭhagāmaṇi’s chief warriors. He was the son of Mahānāga of Niṭṭhulaviṭṭhika and owed his name to his dwarfish stature. He pulled up \*imbara\*-trees from a forest clearing, thus demonstrating his enormous strength. Kākavaṇṇatissa, hearing of this, sent for him to the court.¹ He took a prominent part in the attack on Vijitapura, using a coconut-palm as weapon.²
