Tālajaṅgha (son of Jayadhvaja)

Tālajaṅgha · tāla-jaṅgha, “the one with legs like palm trees”

Tālajaṅgha is a king of the Haihaya line, which came from Yadu. He was the son of Jayadhvaja and the grandson of Kārtavīrya, and his hundred sons were known as the Tālajaṅghas.

In the Haihaya line

The Sūta tells the munis the vaṃśa of Yadu and of the Haihayas. Kārtavīrya had a hundred sons. Of them five remained, strong, heroic, righteous and renowned: Śūrasena, Śūra, Vṛshaṇa, Madhupadhvaja and Jayadhvaja. Jayadhvaja ruled the country of Avantī. Jayadhvaja’s son was Tālajaṅgha, and his hundred sons were known as the Tālajaṅghas.

Among the famous clans in the line of the great Haihayas the Sūta names the Vītihotras, the Suvratas, the Bhojas, the Avantis, the Tauṇḍikeras, the Tālajaṅghas, the Bharatas, the Sujātas and many others, too many to name.
