Mandhatri
Mandhatri, in Hindu mythology, was a king, son of Yuvanaswa, of the race of Ikshvaku, and author of a hymn in the Rigveda. The Harivamsa and some of the Puranas make Mandhatri to have been born in a natural way from his mother Gauri, but the Vishnu and Bhagavata Puranas tell an extraordinary story about his birth, which is probably based on a forced derivation of his name.
