v2.c8.s6.112

3. Halla Son of king Seṇia(1) and his queen Cellaṇā of Rāyagiha. The king gave him an excellent elephant named Seyaṇaya. Kūṇia, elder brother of Halla asked him for the elephant. Halla refused to depart with it and took the refuge of king Ceḍaga, his maternal grand-father. This proved to be the cause of the battle between Ceḍaga and Kūṇia.¹ The same is the case with his twin brother Vihalla(1) whom Seṇia had given a necklace. Halla(2) and Halla(3) seem to be identical. There has probably occurred some confusion in regard to their mother's names.
