Sunītha has other meanings too: see all meanings of Sunītha.

Sannati is a king of the Kāśī line, the son of Alarka and the father of Sunītha.

The teller of the Purāṇa tells the munis the line of Divodāsa. Divodāsa’s son was Pratardana, and Pratardana’s sons were Vatsa and Bharga. Vatsa’s son was Alarka, a knower of Brahman and true to his vow, who for sixty-six thousand years received the grace of Lopāmudrā and at the end of the śāpa killed the rākshasa Kshemaka and rebuilt Vārāṇasī. Alarka’s son was Sannati. Sannati’s son was Sunītha, and from him the line ran, each the son of the one before, through Kshema, Ketumanta, Suketu, Dharmaketu, the mahāratha Satyaketu, Vibhu, Anarta, Sukumāra, Dhṛshṭaketu and Veṇuhotra to Bhārga.
