Mandhatṛi or Mandhata (Sanskrit: मान्धाता, Māndhātṛ) was a legendary prehistoric king of the Raghuvaṃśa branch of the Suryavamsha or Solar dynasty of India.[1] He was said to have conquered the entire world and composed Hymn 134 of Mandala 10 in the Rig Veda.[2] The Mahabharata calls him the son of Yuvanashva.[3][4] He marries Bindumati, the daughter of King Shashabindu of the Yadu dynasty.[5] According to the Puranas, he had three sons: Purukutsa, Ambarisha, and Muchukunda. He is remembered for his greatness, benevolence, and generosity.[6]
