Coḷa (son of Āhlīda)
Coḷa
Kalā has other meanings too: see all meanings of Kalā. Kerala has other meanings too: see all meanings of Kerala.
Coḷa is the Coḷa king, one of the four sons of Āhlīda, in the line of Turvasu that merged into the line of Puru. His brothers were Pāṇḍya, Kerala and Kāla.
His line
The Sūta tells the munis the line of Turvasu, son of Yayāti: Turvasu’s son was Vahni; his son Gobhānu; his son Aiśānu; his son Karandhama; and his son Marutta. Marutta performed yajñas with abundant dakshiṇā but had no son, only a daughter, Saṃyatā, who was given as yajña-dakshiṇā to Saṃvarta and bore the son of Dushyanta. So, by the śāpa of Yayāti, the line of Turvasu merged into the line of Puru. Dushyanta’s son was King Karūroma, and his son was Āhlīda. Āhlīda had four sons: Pāṇḍya, Kerala, Kāla and the Coḷa king.
