ऊँची आवाज करने वाला‚ बुध और इला का पुत्र‚ चन्द्रवंश का प्रवर्तक प्रख्यात राजा‚ जिसका उर्वशी-प्रेम साहित्य में प्रख्यात है

son of buddha and ila and founder of the lunar race of kings. he fell in love with urvashi, who ultimately married him. she bore a son to him and then returned to heaven. the king greatly mourned her loss on which she visited him five times and bore him five sons. the story told by kalidasa n vikramorvashiya differs materially, and so does the account given in the shatapatha brahmana based on a passage in the rigveda, where it is said that urvashi agreed to live with this king on two conditions : that her two rams must be kept near her and that he must take care never to be seen by her undressed. the gandharvas, however, carried away the rams and so urvashi disappeared.
