Loiyumba
The map of Southeast Asia during the era of King Loiyumpa. In the map, "Man." denotes Kangleipak (Manipur kingdom).

King Loiyumba (Old Manipuri: ꯂꯣꯢꯌꯨꯝꯄ, loi-yūm-pa or loī-yūm-pa), also known as Meidingu Loiyumpa, was a Meitei monarch and a ruler of Kangleipak kingdom. He provided the Meitei kingdom with a written constitution which is known as the Loiyumba Sinyen.

Roso Phishahanba was appointed the head of weaving loisang (department) during the time of Meidingu Loiyumba. The Puya "Loiyumpa Silyen" or "Loiyumba Shinyen" records the names of royal weavers such as Naotam Phishapa, Ngangti Phishapa, Yangnu Phishapa, Heisu Naha Phishapa and more.
