[Padmakara-bhatta in the Padmábharana (249), and Giridhara-dasn in the Bhúrats-bhushana (311), mention another variety of this figure in which one answer is a reply to several questions ; thus Padmábharana (249): - Uttara ika bahri prasna kaw

Answer: - Råma. I. e., Ráma-chandra, Paralu-rama, and Bala-rama respectively.]
