Template:Khuman Kingdom Template:Meitei people Adon Punshi Yumoiba (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) was a ruler of the Khuman dynasty of ancient Kangleipak (present-day Manipur).[1][2] He reigned from 620 CE to 700 CE.[3]
He was a contemporary of King Naothingkhong of the Ningthouja dynasty.[3]
Reign and alliances[edit | edit source]
During his reign, Punshi Yumoiba built up the political and cultural significance of Nongyai Leikoipung (Mayang Imphal), the second capital city founded by his father Laiphangba. He built a powerful alliance with King Naothingkhong of the Ningthouja dynasty. Punshi Yoimoiba gave shelter to him and later gave him his daughter, Keirunghangbi to marriage.[2][1]
With this alliance, Punshi Yumoiba also gave a part of the Khuman kingdom to the Meitei kingdom. However, this political act triggered a dispute among the Khuman people and led to the rebellion by Senba Mimaba.[2]
Religion and cultural legacy[edit | edit source]
Punshi Yumoiba also started the worship of the goddess Imoinu. He built her shrine at the royal palace at Mayang Imphal. This was a significant role in starting the worship if Imoinu into the cultural and spiritual practices of the Khuman dynasty.[1][2]
