DHUNDHUMŪKA   A wicked King. Viśalyā was his wife. Even at the marriage of his son this wicked King remained indifferent. He indulged in sexual activities with a Śūdra woman. Not much later he killed her. As soon as her brother knew about this he ran to the palace and killed the King Dhundhumūka along with his wife. Because he was killed by a Śūdra, the family of the King faced destruction. His son was also wicked like his father. But on the advice of a sage he begant o utter (the five-syllabled and six-syllabled mantras of Śiva) in consequence of which, his parents were redeemed. [Liṅga Purāṇa] .
