It is said¹ he placed his two youngest sons in Videha. This is improbable, for the Haihayas dominated all Madhyadeśa, and Videha is no doubt a mistake for Vidiśā.² His son Jyāmagha was expelled by his two elder brothers and sought his fortune southward in the hilly upper region of the Narbadā, at Mekalā,³ Mṛttikāvatī⁴ and in the Ṛkṣa hills (Satpura range), which country was wild and inhabited by Nāgas and other rude tribes. He established himself on the R. Śuktimatī (the Ken), in the hills near its source. There he led a predatory life. He or his son Vidarbha moved south and carved out a kingdom on the Tapti, and there Vidarbha reigned, the country being called Vidarbha (Berar), and the capital Vidarbhā and Kuṇḍina.⁵ - [Previous: c29.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.166) - [Next: c29.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.168) - [Up: c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c29.167) · Pramāṇa
