Asamanja (असमंज) or Asamanjan was Son of Sagara and Kesini. Sagara had 60,000 sons from wife Sumathi and 1 son from Kesini.He was a wild and wicked young man, and was abandoned by his father. But his son Anshuman succeeded Sagara as king.According to another version he was a great Yogin and acted like a wicked man to be thrown out of the kingdom, so that he can quit from the worldly life to persue spiritual goals.

According to the IIari-vansa, he was afterwards famous for valour under the name of Panchajana.
