Purumīḍha

Purumīḍha

Purumīḍha is a king of the lunar line, a son of Bṛhat and a brother of Ajamīḍha and Dvimīḍha.

The Sūta, beginning the line of Ajamīḍha for the brāhmaṇas, tells that Suhotra‘s son was the one named Bṛhat, and that Bṛhat had three sons: Ajamīḍha, Dvimīḍha and Purumīḍha. Ajamīḍha, by his wife Keśinī, became the father of Jahnu, whom Gaṅgā Devī chose as her husband.
