Karūroma is a king of the line of Turvasu, which merged into the line of Puru. He was the son of Dushyanta and the father of Āhlīda. The Sūta names him in the Brahma Purāṇa.

In the line of Turvasu

Marutta, son of Karandhama of the line of Turvasu, had no son, only a daughter, Saṃyatā, who was given as yajña-dakshiṇā to Saṃvarta. She bore the son of Dushyanta, and 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. This Dushyanta of the Turvasu line is not Dushyanta the son of Dharmanetra.
