Andrianerinerina

Andrianerinerina figures in one of several competing origin myths of the Merina of Imerina. He came down to Anerinerina, north of Angavokely, to play with the Vazimba, the island's first inhabitants.

They cooked one of his sheep despite a warning, and having eaten the forbidden meat he could not go home. Zanahary let the Vazimba choose between destruction and serving him; they chose to serve, and he sent his daughter Andriamanitra to be the wife of Andrianerinerina.
