The city of Kṛmi

The munis ask Sūta for the lines of Pūru, Druhyu, Anu, Yadu and Turvasu, and Sūta tells them. Uśīnara, a knower of dharma, had five wives, all of rājarshi families: Nṛgā, Kṛmī, Navā, Darvā and Dṛshadvatī. In his old age, by the power of tapas, he had by them five sons, upholders of the line: Nṛga by Nṛgā, Kṛmi by Kṛmī, Nava by Navā, Suvrata by Darvā, and Śibi, lord of the Auśīnaras, by Dṛshadvatī. From Nṛga came the Yaudheyas; Nava’s was the kingdom called Navā; Kṛmi’s was the city Kṛmilāpurī; and from Suvrata came the Ambashṭhas.
