A king called Idhmajihwan divided his kingdom into seven and gave it to his seven sons. One of the seven portions was Abhaya, and the others were Shiva, Yamasa, Subhadra, Shanta, Kshema and Amrita, as per Bhagavata Panchamaskanda Chapter 26 verse 2.  Another section of the Bhagavata mentions eight portions. According to the Mahabharata Sabhaparva Chapter 30 verse 9, Abhaya was captured later by Bhima.
