Pardava (Pandava) Collective name of the five sons of king Pamḍu, viz. Juhitthilla, Bhimasena(1), Ajjuna(2), Naula and Sahadeva. Their mother was Kumti. They had Doval, daughter of king Duvaya, as their common wife. Pandusena was their son. They had been to Avarakamka with Vasudeva(2) Kanha(1) to rescue Dovai who had been abducted by king Paumaṇābha. While returning from there the Pandavas, just out of fun, hid the boat meant for crossing the river (Gamga). Consequently, Kanha had to swim over the entire river. This caused him much annoyance, and hence, the Pamḍavas were exiled by him. Thereupon on the advice of their parents at the hint of Kanha the Pamḍavas established the city of Pamḍu-Mahura for their inhabitance. Later they renounced the world, took initiation from preceptor Suṭṭhiya(4), studied fourteen Puvvas and attained liberation on mount Settumja after the emancipation of Titthayara Ariṭṭhanemi.1 In their former life four of them were householders in Ayalaggama and the fifth an ascetic. They all were consecrated by preceptor Jasahara(1).2
