Lopamudra was the princess of the kingdom of Vidarbha. She was very beautiful, like an apsara (heavenly maiden) and was also very holy and pure and would always conduct herself well within her limits.

This sage Vaidathin was, in fact, the eldest son of the king Vidathi and was his crown prince too.
