"Jalora Vihara at Zalur Zainageer (Sopore in Baramulla Dist.)" - Aima (1984).
Kusa followed Lava. Khagendra obtained the throne after him. Surendra succeeded him. He died childless and was succeeded by Godhara, from another family. He bestowed Brahmanas, Godhara Hastishala. After him came Suvarna., who brought to Karala, the canal called Suvarnamani. His son Janaka established the Vihara and agrahara of Jalora. His illustrious son Sacinara was like an earthly Indra (Sacipati). He died without a male issue. Then the son of that king’s great grand uncle and the great grand son of Sakuni, the faithful Asoka reigned over the earth. " - http://www.kamakoti.org/kamakoti/details/Rajatarangini1.html
