       sons were the rulers of the eastern part of Aaryaavart, and the older 25 became the

        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
