Agni Purana

तामन्तःप्रसवां दृष्ट्वा गर्भं त्यजाब्रवीद्गुरुः । गर्भस्त्यक्तः प्रदीप्तोऽथ प्राहाहं सोमसम्भवः ॥ २७४.

Seeing that she was pregnant, the teacher commanded her to abandon the child; the abandoned fetus, blazing forth, declared, 'I am born of Soma.'

एवं सोमाद्‌ बुधः पुत्त्रः पुत्त्रस्तस्य पुरूरवाः । स्वर्गन्त्यक्त्वोर्वशी सा तं वरयामास चाप्सराः ॥ २७४.

Thus, Budha was the son of Soma, and his son was Purūravas; Urvaśī, having left heaven, chose him, the king, as her husband.

तथा सहाचरद्राजा दशवर्षाणि पञ्च च । पञ्च षट् सप्त चाष्टौ च दश चाष्टौ महामुने ॥ २७४.

So the king lived with her as his companion for ten years and five, then five, six, seven, eight, ten, and eight, O great sage.

एकोऽग्निरभवत् पूर्व्वं तेन त्रेता प्रवर्त्तिता । पुरूरवा योगशीलो गान्धर्व्वलोकमीयिवान् ॥ २७४.

In the beginning there was one Agni, by whom the threefold ritual was established; Pururavas, devoted to yoga, attained the world of the Gandharvas.

आयुर्दृढायुरश्वायुर्धनायुर्धृतिमान् वसुः । दिविजातः शतायुश्च सुषुवे चोर्व्वशी नृपान् ॥ २७४.

Āyu, Dṛḍhāyu, Aśvāyu, Dhanāyu, Dhṛtimān, Vasu, Divijāta, and Śatāyu—these kings were born to Urvaśī, each possessing long life and strength.

Āyu's son was Nahuṣa; Vṛddhaśarman and Raji likewise; Darbha, Vipāpmā, and Pañcāganya—Raji had a hundred sons.

राजेया इति विख्याता विष्णुदत्तवरो रजिः । देवासुरे रणे दैत्यानबधीत् सुरयाचितः ॥ २७४.

Known as the royal sons, Raji, favored by Viṣṇu, at the gods' request slew the Daityas in the battle between gods and demons.

गतायेन्द्राय पुत्रत्वं दत्वा राज्यं दिवङ्गतः । रजेः पुत्रैर्हृतं राज्यं शक्रस्याथ सुदुर्म्मनाः ॥ २७४.

Having granted his kingdom to Indra as a son, Raji departed to heaven; then Raji's sons, with evil intent, took Indra's kingdom.

ग्रहशान्त्यादिविधिना गुरुरिन्द्राय तद्ददौ । मोहयित्वा रजिसुतानासंस्ते निजधर्म्मगाः ॥ २७४.

By rites for appeasing planetary afflictions, the preceptor gave it back to Indra, having deluded Raji's sons, who then abandoned their own duties.

Nahuṣa had seven sons: Yati, Yayāti the excellent, Udbhava, and Pañcaka, as well as Śaryāti and Meghapālaka.

Yati, even in his youth, meditated on Viṣṇu and attained Hari; Devayānī, daughter of Śukra, then became Yayāti's wife.

वृषपर्व्वजा सर्म्मिष्ठा ययातेः पञ्च तत्सुताः । यदुञ्च तुर्व्वसुञ्चैव देवयानी व्यजायत ॥ २७४.

Śarmiṣṭhā, daughter of Vṛṣaparvan, bore five sons to Yayāti; Devayānī gave birth to Yadu and Turvasu.

Agni said: Yadu had five sons, the eldest among them was Sahasrajit; Nīlāñjika, Radhu, Kroṣṭu, and Śatajita were the sons of Sahasrajit.

From Kanaka came Kṛtavīrya, then Kṛtāgni, Karavīraka, and Kṛtaujā as the fourth; from Kṛtavīrya was born Arjuna.

दत्तोऽर्ज्जुनाय तपते सप्तद्वीपमहीशताम् । ददौ बाहुसहस्रञ्च अजेयत्वं रणेऽरिणा ।। २७५.

Datta granted to Arjuna the sovereignty of the earth with seven continents, as well as a thousand arms and invincibility in battle against enemies.

अधर्म्मै वर्त्त मानस्य विष्णुहस्तान्मृतिर्ध्रु बा । दश यज्ञसहस्राणि सोऽर्ज्जुनः कृतवान्तृपः ।। २७५.

Because of unrighteous conduct, his death was certain at the hands of Viṣṇu; Arjuna the king performed ten thousand sacrifices.

अनष्टद्रव्यता राष्ट्रे तस्य संस्मरणादभूत् । न नूनं कार्त्तवीर्य्यस्य गतिं यास्यन्ति वै नृपाः ।। २७५.

By remembering him, there was no loss of wealth in his kingdom; surely, no kings will attain the state of Kārttavīrya.

यज्ञैर्द्दानैस्तपोभिश्च विक्रमेण श्रुतेन च । कार्त्तवीर्यस्य च शतं पुत्त्राणां पञ्च वै पराः ।। २७५.

By sacrifices, gifts, austerities, valor, and learning—Kārttavīrya had a hundred sons, of whom five were outstanding.

The Vītihotras and the Śauṇḍikeyas were born independently; from Vītihotra came Ananta, and from Ananta, King Durjjaya.
