dehaṁ mamanthuḥ sma nimeḥ
arājaka-bhayaṁ nṝṇāṁ
manyamānā maharṣayaḥ
dehaṁ mamanthuḥ sma nimeḥ
kumāraḥ samajāyata
Thereafter, understanding the dangerous situation for the people without a king, the sages churned Mahārāja Nimi's material body, from which, as a result, a son was born.

janmanā janakaḥ so 'bhūd
vaidehas tu videhajaḥ
mithilo mathanāj jāto
mithilā yena nirmitā
Because he was born in an unusual way, the son was called Janaka, and because he was born from the dead body of his father, he was known as Vaideha. Because he was born from the churning of his father's material body, he was known as Mithila, by whom the city called Mithilā was constructed.
Because of his extraordinary birth he was called Janaka.
