Unknown * -> Periods unknown. They are treated as Godly Kings.

Naturally, chronicle writers have different views, thoughts and methods of calculation. If these differences are not properly distilled, complicacy and controversy cannot be ruled out. As such, slight differences found in the periods of the reign of some kings of Moirang are yet to be corrected and purified.
