The Pucangan inscription also mentioned another king named Dharmawangsa Teguh, however the exact relation between King Makutawangsa and Dharmawangsa was not clearly described. The inscription mentioned that King Makutawangsa Wardhana had a daughter named Mahendradatta also known as Gunapriya Dharmapatni. She was the queen of Bali, betrothed to King Udayana of Balinese Warmadewas. Queen Mahendradatta was the mother of Airlangga. It was known that King Dharmawangsa Teguh began his reign in 991 CE, thus historians believed that Dharmawangsa was the brother of Mahendradatta, thus both are offspring of Makutawangsa Wardhana.
