Vaidarbhī (wife of Madhu)

Vaidarbhī

Vaidarbhī is a wife of King Madhu, son of Vṛddhakshatra, of the line of Vidarbha in the Yādava vaṃśa. She is the mother of Purudvant. She is not Vaidarbhī the queen of Sagara.

Her husband and son

The Brahma Purāṇa gives the line of Vidarbha, son of Jyāmagha. In that line Vṛddhakshatra’s son was Madhu, like a son of the devas, sweet of speech, the founder of the line of the Madhus. Madhu, in Vaidarbhī, begot Purudvant, “best of men”. In his other wife Aikshvākī, born in the Ikshvāku line, Madhu begot Sattvant, endowed with every virtue, who gave the Sātvatas their name.
