Ur-du-kuga, written <sup>d</sup>ur-du<sub>6</sub>-kù-ga (died 1825 BC) was the 13th king of the Dynasty of Isin and reigned for 4 years according to the Sumerian King List, or 3 years according to the Ur-Isin kinglist. He was the third in a sequence of short reigning monarchs whose filiation was unknown and whose power extended over a small region encompassing little more than the city of Isin and its neighbor Nippur. He was probably a contemporary of Warad-Sin of Larsa and Apil-Sin of Babylon.
He credited Dagon, a god from the middle Euphrates region who had possibly been introduced by the dynastyâÂÂs founder, Ishbi-Erra, with his creation, in cones commemorating the construction of the deityâÂÂs temple, the Etuà ¡kigara, or the house âÂÂwell founded residence,â an event also celebrated in a year-name. The inscription describes him as the âÂÂshepherd who brings everything for Nippur, the supreme farmer of the gods An and Enlil, provider of the Ekurâ¦â This heaps profuse declarations of his care for NippurâÂÂs sanctuaries, the Ekur for Enlil, the Eà ¡umeà ¡a for Ninurta and the Egalmaḫ for Gula, NinurtaâÂÂs divine wife.
A piece of brick from Isin, bears his titulary but the event it marked has not been preserved. A cone shaft memorializes the building of a temple of Lulal of the cultic city of Dul-edena, northeast of Nippur on the Iturungal canal. The digging of the Imgur-Ninisin canal was celebrated in another year-name.
