1. Vihalla Son of king Seṇiya(1) and his queen Cellaṇā of Rāyagiha and younger brother of Kūṇia.¹ King Seṇiya gave him an excellent necklace.² Kuṇia asked him for it, Vihalla refused to depart with the necklace. He, along with his brother Halla(3) took the refuge of king Ceḍaga, his maternal grand father. This caused a battle between Ceḍaga and Kūṇia.³ Vihalla took initiation from Titthayara Mahāvīra, observed asceticism for twelve years and went to the Jayanta celestial abode after death. In future he will take one more birth in the Mahāvideha region and attain liberation there.⁴
