Senba Mimaba (ꯁꯦꯟꯕꯥ ꯃꯤꯃꯥꯕ) was a ruler of the Khuman dynasty of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). He ruled from 700 CE to 760 CE.[1] He was also inherently a Luwang prince.[2][3][4]

He was a contemporary of Meitei king Naothingkhong of the Ningthouja dynasty.[1] He succeeded his maternal grandfather, Punshi Yumoiba.[2][3][4]

Early life

Senba Mimaba was born to Luwang Ningthou Punshiba by Khayoiron Nganbi (Nganu Thumbi) of the Khuman dynasty, despite both clans having a shared ancestry. Later, his mother divorced from his father and went back to the Khuman territory with Senba Mimaba.[2] He brought the image of Imoinu from the Luwang territory to the Khuman territory.[3][4]

Senba Mimaba was reunited with his father during a hunting incident.[3][4]

Reign and integration into hill tribes

Following the passing of his maternal grandfather Punshi Yumoiba, Senba Mimaba ascended to the throne of the Khuman kingdom in the year 700 CE. He ruled until 760 CE, when he was succeeded by Yoithongai.[1][3][4]

During his rule, Senba Mimaba began an expedition to the southeastern hills of Manipur. He ultimately merged with local hill communities and is considered one of the key ancestral figures of the Maring tribe.[3][4]

Descendants

Senba Mimaba had three sons: Laiku, Laikha, and Laipha. After his rule ended and Yoithongai ascended the Khuman throne, all three sons fled the kingdom. Laiku settled in Leitang, Laikha in Uchiwa, and Laipha migrated to the Maring region, where he blended into the Maring population.[5][6]
