Puraan, p 119-120
Ikshwaaku's youngest son was very qualitative so he named him Dand and
gave him the kingdom of Madhumatt between the two peaks of Vindhya
Mountain. One spring, he met Shukraachaarya's daughter Arajaa and got
attracted to her. He had her forcefully. Arajaa told everything to her
father. Shukraachaarya cursed him that his everything would be destroyed
and Indra would rain only dust for 7 days and 7 nights. Thus Dand's
kingdom got destroyed within 1 year. Since then that place was called
Dandak Van or Dandak Aranya.
*It
seems that from Raam to Krishn there was only 15 generation time
difference.
**There
are two kings whose name was Nal - one was the son of Veersen and the other was the
son of Nishadh. This Nal was the one who married Damayantee and went in
exile because losing his kingdom in dice game with his brother Pushkar.
