Janamejaya
}}
Janamejaya ((サンスクリット:जनमेजय)) was a Kuru king who reigned during the Middle Vedic period (12th or 11th century BCE).〔Michael Witzel (1989), ''Tracing the Vedic dialects'' in ''Dialectes dans les litteratures Indo-Aryennes'' ed. Caillat, Paris, 97–265. Note: the reign of Janamejaya falls during the Mantra period of Vedic Sanskrit (p.115), which occurs between 1180 and 1000/900 BCE according to the table on p.259〕 Along with his predecessor Parikshit, he played a decisive role in the consolidation of the Kuru state, the arrangement of Vedic hymns into collections, and the development of the orthodox srauta ritual, transforming the Kuru realm into the dominant political and cultural center of northern Iron Age India.〔Witzel (1989)〕〔Michael Witzel, "Early Sanskritization. Origins and development of the Kuru State". B. Kölver (ed.), Recht, Staat und Verwaltung im klassischen Indien. The state, the Law, and Administration in Classical India. München : R. Oldenbourg 1997, 27-52 ()〕
He also appears as an important figure in many later legends and traditions, such as the Mahabharata, where he appears as the listener of the first narration of the great epic (see below).
==In Vedic literature==
Janamejaya is mentioned as a great king and conqueror in a number of late Vedic texts. The ''Aitareya Brahmana'' (VIII.21) informs us that his priest Tura Kavasheya anointed him with the great anointing of Indra, and hence his descendants are called Tur. The ''Shatapatha Brahmana'' mentions that he performed an ''ashvamedha'' (horse sacrifice) at a place named Āsandīvat and the priest who performed it for him was Indrota Daivapa Shaunaka.〔Raychaudhuri, H.C. (1972). ''Political History of Ancient India: From the Accession of Parikshit to the Extinction of the Gupta Dynasty'', Calcutta:University of Calcutta, pp.12-6,34〕 Janamejaya was a son of King Parikshit and had several brothers: Bhimasena, Ugrasena and Śrutasena.
