[1] Shraddhadeva Manu was the king of the Dravida kingdom[2] before the Pralaya, the great flood.
Forewarned about the flood by the Matsya avatar of Vishnu, he saved humanity by building a boat that carried his family and the saptarishi to safety.
[4] The other sons of Dasharatha; Lakshmana and Shatrughna were said to be the kings of Karupada and Malla, and Madhupuri and Vidisha respectively.
