Bhauma dynasty

According to the 10th-century Kalika Purana, the dynasty was established by Naraka of Videha, by removing the Kirata chief Ghataka, the last of the Danava dynasty. The development of the details of the Naraka story are considered as myths though historically he could have been a native Kirata chief, or a Hinduized tribal youth. The glorification and assimilation of a local chief and the making of myths follow a pattern that is observed in other parts of India. The last ruler, Suparna, was killed by his ministers. The existence of this dynasty is not supported by any tenable evidence.
