Gulma

Role: son · First appears: Chapter XXI

In Chapter XXI, in lost past times, Gulma was born to a king and his wife alongside his brothers Śākha, Anugulma, and Viśākha. After they grew up, Gulma and his brothers took daughters of kings from other lands as wives, then behaved disrespectfully toward their father, who banished them.
