Virāṭ (son of Kāmyā)

Virāṭ

Virāṭ is one of the four sons of Kāmyā, in the line of Vīra, the son of Svāyambhuva Manu and Śatarūpā. He is not the Virāṭ Purusha of creation, nor Virāṭa, the king of Matsya.

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Śatarūpā, who was not born of a womb, performed hard tapas for ten thousand years and gained Svāyambhuva Manu as her husband. She bore him a son, Vīra, and also Priyavrata and Uttānapāda. To Vīra, Kāmyā was born, and Kāmyā had four sons: Samrāṭ, Kukshi, Virāṭ and Prabhu.
