RUMANVĀN II. The eldest of the five sons born to Jamadagni by his wife Reṇukā. The sons of Jamadagni were, Rumanvān, Suṣeṇa, Vasu, Viśvāvasu and Paraśurāma. It was Rumanvān that Jamadagni ordered to kill Reṇukā who was late in fetching water from the river. But Rumanvān did not obey his father. The angry hermit cursed Rumanvān. According to the curse Rumanvān became dull-witted like birds and beasts. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 116, Stanza 10).
