the variations on this narrative are fundamentally similar. a second version recounts that the prince described himself as having "three hearts, two hearts, and one heart" (rather than just two hearts), and explains that andriamampandry tricked the king into leaving the palace by instructing him to journey to a distant location to sacrifice a zebu to the ancestors. in the third version, a primary role is given to the sampy (royal idol) named kelimalaza, to which the success of andriamasinavalona's coup is attributed.
