Tikhinamantī

Brother of Cūḷani-Brahmadatta. He was born while his mother, Talatādevi, was living with the brahmin Chambhī, after having killed Mahācūḷanī. On discovering his real parentage, he killed Chambhī, and, having taken the throne, sent for his brother, Cūḷani, who was then in exile, and crowned him king (J.vi.469, 473). It is said (J.vi.474) that, later, Cūḷani was displeased because Tikhinamantī ceased to attend at the palace.
