Ikshwaaku Vansh-Nimi's Vansh
His another son was Nimi. He died in a conflict with Vashishth. Then Muni
thought that without Raajaa there will be disorganization among the people,
so they churned the body of Nimi through which a son was born. Taking birth
like this he was named Janak. Because he took birth from Videh (whose body
was not there) he was known as Videh; and because of being born through Manthan
(churning) he was called "Mithil". He inhabited "Mithilaa
Puree".
