Janmejay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janmejay was a Hindu King of the Pandava Dynasty, Great Grandson of Arjun, Abhimanyu's grandson, Son of King Parikshit of the Mahābhārata fame. Known as the historical figure who did a nag yagya and killed all snakes to seek revenge of his father's death due to a snake bite. Janmejay is also known as the first ruler of the era of Kalyug.
The meaning of janmejay is "he who uplifts the people" or "he who makes people tremble". The derivation is from the noun "jan" (meaning people like in Janata) and the "ij" verb which gets converted into "ejay".
According to another translation, in Hindi, Janmejay gets translated as a compound word, with 'Janm' meaning 'birth', and 'Ajay' meaning 'invincible'. Thus, the word translates to 'invincible from birth'.
