Paramanyu

Paramanyu · parama-manyu, “of supreme ardour”

Paramanyu is a mahāratha, a great chariot-warrior, one of the three sons of Kaksheyu in the line of Pūru. The Sūta names him when he tells the munis the line of Pūru in the Brahma Purāṇa.

Son of Kaksheyu

Pūru‘s line came down through Suvīra, Manasyu, Abhayada, Sudhanvan and Subāhu to Raudrāśva, who had ten sons; the third of them was Kaksheyu. Kaksheyu had three sons, mahārathas: Sabhānara, Cākshusha and Paramanyu. The line went on through Sabhānara, whose son was the learned Kālānala.
