Meidingu Naokhamba (Old Manipuri: Meitingu Naokhampa) was a ruler of Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak). He is the successor of Kaokhangba [simple] and the predecessor of Naophangba. During his reign, Manipuri traders reached out on horseback to upper Burma and China.[3] Besides the Cheitharol Kumbaba and the Ningthourol Lambuba, he is also mentioned in the Chengleiron.[4] Naokhamba abducted the wife of King Thangyi Khongjromba of the Chenglei tribe when she was heavily pregnant. Later, she had a son named "Naophang Ahanba".[5] During his reign, Chingjen Naran Panggalba, the king of the Chengleis left Kangleipak for westward lands.[6]
