A type of gods belonging to the family of
Dahivahana (Dadhivahana) King of Campā. He was husband of Paumāvai(8) and father of Karakaṁdu. Once he went to a forest accompanied by his wife to fulfil her pregnancy-longing. They incidentally got separated there. The king returned to the city, whereas the queen reached Damtapura and took to asceticism. There she gave birth to Karakamḍu who by chance became King of Kamcanapura, the capital of Kalimga(1). Once he came in conflict with his own father Dahivahaṇa, but the clash was averted by Paumavai who introduced them to each other. Dahivahaṇa, then, renounced the world and handed over the kingdom to Karakamḍu.1
Dahivahaṇa had one more wife named Dhāriņī(3). Vasumai who is popularly known as Camdaṇā(1), was their daughter. Once king Sayāṇia of Kosambi invaded Campa. King Dahivahana escaped the arrest, whereas queen Dhāriņī and princes Vasumai were captured by the enemies.2
