From Asamaujas were born three sons: Sudaṃṣṭra, Suvāsa, and Dhṛṣṭa. Dhṛṣṭa married Gāndhārī and Mādrī, and from these unions came Sumitra from Gāndhārī and Yudhājit from Mādrī. Dhṛṣṭa himself fathered Anamitra and Śini, and from their lineage came Devamīḍhuṣa. Anamitra's son was Nighna, whose son was Prasenaka. Prasenaka had two sons, Satrājit and Prasena. It was from the Sun that they obtained the famed jewel, Syamantaka. But as fate would have it, while wandering in the forest, both brothers were slain by a lion, which took the jewel for itself. Jāmbavat, the noble bear, killed the lion and claimed the Syamantaka. Eventually, Hari—Kṛṣṇa—conquered Jāmbavat, and from him gained both the jewel and Jāmbavatī. Kṛṣṇa then returned to Dvārakā, giving the jewel and Jāmbavatī to Satrājit. Yet Satrājit was slain by Śatadhanvā, who coveted the jewel. Kṛṣṇa pursued and killed Śatadhanvā, reclaiming the Syamantaka and earning great fame. In the presence of the Yādava leaders, Kṛṣṇa gave the jewel to Akrūra. After the false accusations against Kṛṣṇa were abandoned, Satrājit attained heaven. Satyabhāmā, beloved of Hari, was the cause behind Satrājit's death. From Anamitra came Śini, whose son was Satyaka. Satyaka's son was Sātyaki, and from Yuyudhāna came Huni. Dhuneri Yugandhara's son was Svāhya, who became Yudhājit; his sons were Ṛṣabha and Kṣetraka, and from Ṛṣabha was born Svaphalkaka. Svaphalka's son was Akrūra, and from Akrūra came Sūdhanvaka. Śūra fathered Vasudeva and others, and Pṛthā became the beloved wife of Pāṇḍu. From Dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira was born to Pāṇḍu; from Vāyu, Vṛkodara (Bhīma) was born to Kuntī; from Indra, Dhanañjaya (Arjuna); and from Mādrī, Nakula and Sahadeva. From Vasudeva and Rohiṇī were born Rāma, Sāraṇa, and Durgama. From Vasudeva and Devakī, Susenaka was first born. Kīrtimān, Bhadrasena, Jārukhya, Viṣṇudāsaka, Bhadradeha, and Kaṃsa—these six embryos were killed by Kaṃsa. Then Balarāma, then Kṛṣṇa, Subhadrā the auspicious, Cārudeṣṇa, Śāmba, and others were born from Kṛṣṇa and Jāmbavatī. Agni declared: Kaśyapa became Vasudeva, and Devakī was the noble Aditi. From Vasudeva and Devakī was born Kṛṣṇa, endowed with ascetic power. He incarnated for the protection of dharma, the destruction of adharma, the preservation of the gods, and the subduing of demons. Kṛṣṇa's queens were many: Rukmiṇī, Satyabhāmā, Satyā, Nagnajitī, Gāndhārī, Lakṣmaṇā, Mitravindā, Kālindī, Jāmbavatī, Suśīlā, Mādrī, Kauśalyā, Vijayā, and Jayā. In all, there were sixteen thousand queens. From Rukmiṇī came Pradyumna and others; from Satyabhāmā, Bhīma and others; from Jāmbavatī, Śāmba and others. Altogether, Kṛṣṇa, that wise one, had a hundred thousand sons. Eighty thousand Yādavas were protected by Kṛṣṇa. From Pradyumna and Vaidarbhī was born Aniruddha, lover of battle. From Aniruddha came Vajra and other mighty Yādavas. There were three crores of Yādavas and sixty thousand Dānavas. Those who were obstacles among men, Hari destroyed, for he is born as a man to establish the order of duties. There were twelve battles between gods and demons for the sake of inheritance. The first was the Nārasiṃha battle, the second was Vāmana's battle, then the Vārāha battle, and the fourth was the churning for nectar. The Tārakāmaya battle followed, then the Ājīvaka battle. Then came the Tripura battle, the slaying of Andhaka, the ninth was the slaying of Vṛtra, the defeat of Hālāhala, and then the dreadful Kolāhala battle. Long ago, Narasiṃha, the divine protector, tore apart Hiraṇyakaśipu with his claws and safeguarded Prahlāda, the king. In the conflict between gods and demons, Vāmana, born of Kaśyapa and Aditi, subdued Bali, the mighty one, and gave the kingdom to Mahendra. Varāha, after slaying Hiraṇyākṣa, protected the gods; praised by the divine hosts, he lifted the earth that had been submerged. Using Mandara as the churning rod and Vāsuki as the rope, the gods and demons churned the ocean, and nectar was obtained for the gods. In the battle for Tārakāmaya, the gods were protected; Indra was restrained, and the demons, creators of the Soma lineage, were checked by their teachers. Viśvāmitra, Vasiṣṭha, and the three sages protected the gods in battle, overcoming the demons who were hostile and full of hatred. Hari, the refuge of Brahma and the lord, burned Tripura, the city, acting as the protector of the gods and destroyer of demons. Hari, devoted to Revati, struck down the blind demon who had afflicted Rudra, who wished to seize Gaurī. Viṣṇu, upholding the law of the gods, protected them by slaying Vṛtra, the destroyer of the gods. Hari, in the form of Paraśurāma, defeated Śālva and other demons, protected the gods and their leaders, and destroyed the wicked rulers. Having removed the poison Hālāhala and the demon from Maheśvara, Madhusūdana dispelled the fear of the gods. The demon Kolāhala and the poison Hālāhala were conquered, and all the gods were protected by Viṣṇu through the preservation of righteousness. In the battle between gods and demons, Kolāhala was defeated, and all the gods were protected by Viṣṇu through the preservation of righteousness. Kings, princes, sages, and gods—whatever has been said or left unsaid, these are the incarnations of Hari.
