Saroj Parratt noted in the introduction to her critical translation of Cheitharol Kumbaba that nothing very-specific can be reconstructed about Manipuri history before Kyampa (1467-1508 CE). Parratt doubts that most (if not all) of the earlier kings were legendary figures, who were borrowed from the cultural pantheon and fit into a broader memory of intra-clan conquests. She as well as Gangmumei Kamei hypothesize that the date of 33 CE was arrived upon by astrological calculations.

So, please do not add these factoids in an uncritical fashion and mislead readers into accepting their historicity. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:48, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
