According to some versions of the genealogy of the Merina people of the central Highlands of Madagascar, Andriandravindravina is the name of the first sovereign of the Highlands. He was not Merina but rather a vazimba, the mysterious first inhabitants of Madagascar that successive waves of settlers encountered upon arrival there. The Tantara ny Andriana eto Madagasikara, the famed genealogy of the Merina aristocracy, states that Andriandravindravina ("Prince of the Leaves", an allusion to the eastern forests he would have needed to traverse to reach the central plateau) ruled over Ambohitsitakatra in northern Imerina where he was reportedly buried. His three sons were:

• Andrianororana ("Yarima na Ruwan Sama Mai Dorewa"), mafi tsufa, wanda ya zauna a bakin teku a Maroantsetra.
• Andriamanjavona, wanda ya zauna a Angavo, inda ya auri allahiya Andriambavirano ("Gimbiya ta Ruwa," wacce aka ce ta yi yawo daga sama zuwa cikin tafkin a saman Angavo wanda aka haifa a matsayin ganye mai ƙamshi).
• Andriananjavonana, wanda ya zauna a Anandribe, yammacin Angavo.
