The list of Khuman monarchs outlines the lineage of rulers from the Khuman dynasty, one of the prominent ruling groups in ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). The Khuman dynasty played a significant role in the early history of the region, particularly before the emergence of a unified Meitei kingdom, through Meitei confederacy. This list traces the succession of Khuman kings, highlighting their contributions to the cultural and political landscape of early Manipur.[1][2][3][4]

List

[edit]

According to the royal chronicle Khuman Kangleirol, there were 32 kings in the independent Khuman dynasty. If 9 earlier kings from the shared Khuman-Luwang ancestral line are included, the total becomes 41. If King Thawaren, the brother of King Poireiton, is also added, the total becomes 42.[1][2][3][4]

Common ancestry with the Luwang dynasty

[edit]

The Khuman-Luwang common royal lineage comprises nine principal rulers: Nongdamlen Akhuba, Nongdamlen Ahanba, Kurumlen Meinaidaba, Kurumlen Meinaiba, Pothang Ponghan, Heironglen Longjumba, Heirong-ngang Thanganglen, Poireiton, and Singdangpung Tabung Singminnaba. The total increases to ten if Thawaren, the brother of Poireiton, is included.[1][2][3][4]

Singtangpung Tapung Singminnapa, the ninth and final ruler of the undivided Khuman-Luwang common ancestral royal line, had two sons. His elder son, King Aalong, established the independent Khuman dynasty, while his younger son, King Pamingnapa, founded the separate Luwang dynasty.[1][2][3][4]
