Vepulla was the abode of the Yakkha Kumbhīra and his one hundred thousand followers.³ According to the Dummedha Jātaka⁴ it was possible for an elephant to climb to the top of Vepulla. From Vepulla, the Cakkavatti gets his \*cakkaratana\*,⁵ and it was this gem which Puṇṇaka obtained from the mountain to be offered as stake in his game of dice with Dhanañjaya Koravya.⁶
