    The document outlines the family tree of Janaka, the father of Sita from Hindu mythology. It traces Janaka's lineage back through many generations to Nimi, who was the grandson of Manu. Some key figures in the family tree include Mithi, the founder of Mithila, and Seeradhwaja, who was Sita's direct father. The lineage continued beyond Ramayana with many subsequent Janaka rulers of Mithila listed. It also provides context that Nimi, the first Janaka, came to be represented as eyelashes after angering a sage with a missed religious ceremony.

    Note on Nimi the First of Janakas.

    The Time ,Nimisha Minute is named after Nimi.

    Once Nimi performed Yagya and invited Sage Vasishtha to be the main priest to conduct
    Yagya. However Sage vasishtha had already committed to conduct yagya for Lord Indra,
    he told Nimi that he would officiate as Head Priest after having conducted Lord Indras
    Yagya and thus Nimi will have to wait. Nimi went away without replying. Sage
    Vashisthagot impression that King Nimi has assented to wait for him.
    Sage Vasishtha conducted Lord Indras Yagya and rushed to preside at King Nimis Yagya
    only to find that the Yagya was already being conducted. Sage Vasishtha got angry and
    cursed King Nimi that he would cease to live in corporal form. Thus, King Nimi was left
    without his body. After the Yagya was conducted successfully, the priests asked the
    Gods to return King Nimi in his corporal form. However, King Nimi declined to go back in
    his body but requested that he be allowed to live in eyes of all beings. Gods assented to
    his desire and gave him form of eyelashes, which is present in all beings.
