Uga was a Vala chief of Talaja in Saurashtra region of modern Gujarat state of India.
[1][2] Uga Vala was a maternal uncle of Ra Kavat, the Chudasama ruler of Saurashtra.
Vala Uga, however, boasted that he could manage without the aid of Vanthali, the Chudasama capital, and said metaphorically that he could clap hands with one palm i.e. without the assistance of the Ra.
[C]On hearing of the capture of Kavat, Uga Vala set off with a large army to release him, and arrived at the Shiyal Island.
Kavat was much enraged at this and though Uga Vala made much submission to him, he treasured up the grudge, and after returning to Vanthali he led an army against Vala Uga and finally killed him near Chitrasar in Babariavad where his paliya (memorial stone) now stands.
It is said that when he forced his way to the Shiyal Island chief's palace seeking him, that his wife met him and besought him to spare her husband's life in the following stanza:[2] You have slain seven hundred heroes, And killed five hundred Pathans; But if you slay Anant,[D] who alone remains, O Uga,
