                          Jitpal: the Successor of Jagatipal or Jagatpal

                Beckett, Historians as Patiram, and Raturi suggested That Jitpal was immediate successor of Jagatipal.

 Other historians as Maularam, Williams and Almora list recognized Jitpal as Jitarthdev, Jitarthpal or Jitargpal

 Still in Garhwal, Jitaru, Jeetu, Jitang, Jitpal names are common name. No information is available about this King.
