Tauṇḍikera · tauṇḍikera, “the people of Tuṇḍikera”

The Tauṇḍikeras are one of the famous clans in the line of the great Haihayas, the line of Kārtavīryārjuna.

In the Haihaya line

The Sūta tells the munis that Kārtavīrya had a hundred sons, of whom five remained, strong, heroic, righteous and renowned: Śūrasena, Śūra, Vṛshaṇa, Madhupadhvaja and Jayadhvaja. Jayadhvaja ruled the Avantī country; his son was Tālajaṅgha, whose hundred sons were known as the Tālajaṅghas. In the line of the great Haihayas the famous clans are the Vītihotras, Suvratas, Bhojas, Avantis, Tauṇḍikeras, Tālajaṅghas, Bharatas, Sujātas and many others, too many to name.
