Dvimīḍha is a king of the line of Puru, a son of Bṛhat and a brother of Ajamīḍha and Purumīḍha. The Brahma Purāṇa names him as the Sūta begins the line of Ajamīḍha.

In the line of Puru

“Best of brāhmaṇas, hear the vaṃśa of Ajamīḍha,” the Sūta tells the munis. Suhotra‘s son was the one named Bṛhat, and he had three sons: Ajamīḍha, Dvimīḍha and Purumīḍha. The Sūta then follows the line of Ajamīḍha and his wives Nīlinī, Keśinī and Dhūminī.
