Puremba

Khuman Puremba (Old Manipuri: Khuman Pulempa) or Khuman Purenba (Old Manipuri: Khuman Pulenpa) is a son of Parenkoiba (Old Manipuri: Palenkoipa) and a grandson of Khuman prince Haoramyaima (Old Manipuri: Haolamyaima), who once fled from the Khuman kingdom to Ancient Moirang kingdom.[1][2][3][4] He is a brave warrior of Khuman dynasty and a minister of Ancient Moirang kingdom. He is best known for capturing the seven tigers alive from the wild and saving the life of the King of Moirang.[5][6]

For the king having no daughter, Puremba was offered Ngangkha Leima, one of the King's wives as a reward for his bravery. Ngangkha Leima was already conceived with the king's child when she came to Puremba's home.[7] So, her first child Khamnu was, in fact, the blood of the king.[8] And with Puremba, she gave birth to Khuman Khamba. At the joy of the birth of his son, Puremba stroke the emergency war noticing drum of the kingdom even though there was no invasion of the enemies. For this, he was punished to death. After he died, his wife also died.

So, his children were brought up by his friends, on the rotational basis, among which Kabui Salang Maiba took the children's care the most.[9]
