Āhlīda

Kalā has other meanings too: see all meanings of Kalā. Kerala has other meanings too: see all meanings of Kerala.

Āhlīda is a king of the line of Turvasu, son of King Karūroma. He had four sons: Pāṇḍya, Kerala, Kāla and the Coḷa king.

The Sūta tells the munis the line of Turvasu, son of Yayāti: Vahni, Gobhānu, Aiśānu, Karandhama and Marutta. Marutta 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, the father of Pāṇḍya, Kerala, Kāla and the Coḷa king.
