She was daughter of a king of Vidarbha,¹ and married Agastya.² The king is called Vaidarbha, ‘son (or descendant) of Vidarbha’; and is named Nimi twice.³ No king of this name occurs in the Vidarbha genealogy (chapter XII, Table), but he was obviously a son or near descendant of Vidarbha, and Nimi is probably a misreading of Bhīma,⁴ another name of Vidarbha’s son Kratha, or perhaps the name of another son. By Lopāmudrā’s favour Alarka, king of Kāśi, grandson of Pratardana, had, it is said, a very long and prosperous reign.⁵ Agastya and she were thus contemporary with Alarka, and were two or three generations below Vidarbha and Pratardana. These synchronisms harmonize with those deduced about those kings in chapter XIII. - [Previous: c19.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.4) - [Next: c19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.6) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.5) · Pramāṇa
