according to 's "the meitheis" (1908), with the influence of hinduism, new mythological tales tainted the identity of king pakhangba. according to one hindu lore, king pakhangba was said to be born to "enoog howba chonoo", who was said to be the wife of babrubahana, by the end of the dvapara yuga ("dapar jug") and by the beginning of the kali yuga ("kali jug"), which is estimated to be around the year 3435. hindu names were given as aliases to king pakhangba. for example, "jobista" (also spelled as "yavista") was given as a synonym for king pakhangba. according to another hindu lore, king pakhangba was claimed as the grandson of babruvahana (arjuna's son) and the son of sooprabahoo (babruvahana's son), thereby drawing relationship with the characters in the mahabharata.
