A king in Janaka’s dynasty. He was the son of Vijaya and the father of Shunaka as per Bhagavata Navamaskanda. He had seven beautiful daughters. But they were disenchanted with the palace even while they were children and began living in the cemetery. They were of the opinion that the body was just a symbol of mortality and left their bodies for vultures and wild animals to pick apart. They attained salvation thus as per Kathasaitasagara Madanamanjukalambaka Taranga 2.
