Antardhāma is the son of Aṃśa and the father of the Prajāpati Havirdhāma, in the line of Manu.

When Devī Pārvatī had heard all of Parameśvara’s teaching, Bhagavān Śiva told the munis gathered near him that, for the good of the devas, Vāsudeva would be born in the line of the great Manu. He gave the line that leads to that birth: from Manu, Aṃśa; from him, Antardhāma; from him, the revered Prajāpati Havirdhāma; from him, Prācīnabarhi, to whom ten sons would be born, the Pracetases; and among their line Daksha, son of Pracetas, would become Prajāpati.
