 Both Hemachandra and Bilhana wrote under Chaulukya patronage, so they had a vested interest in portraying Karna's queen in a positive light.Merutunga was not under any such pressure, but his account is fanciful and full of historical inaccuracies.For example, he claims that Jayakeshi's father was Shubhakeshi (it was actually Shashthi II).
