Narapati, Clough 311 , from Nara , a man, and Pati, a lord , a king, a sovereign. Nra Clough 344, a man, individually or collectively, mankind. Narapati, Clough 344, one of the names of Kuvera, the Indian god of riches; a king, a sovereign. On the Gunung Nurjaya exists, cut upon a rock in situ, the mark of a man's foot, which may perhaps help to show that the Nur applies to Nara, a man. Nurjaya will then mean „the triumphant man." (This might be also a sign of Buddhism formerly prevailing. Fr.)
