Agni Purana

यतिः कुमारभावेऽपि विष्णुं ध्यात्वा हरिं गतः । देवयानी सुक्रकन्या ययातेः पत्न्यऽभूत्तदा ॥ २७४.

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

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

द्रुह्यञ्चानूञ्च पूरुञ्च शर्म्मिष्ठा वार्षपर्व्वणी । यदुः पूरुश्चाभवतान्तेषां वंशविवर्द्धनौ ॥ २७४.

Druhyu, Anu, and Pūru were born to Śarmiṣṭhā, daughter of Vṛṣaparvan; among them, Yadu and Pūru became the enhancers of their lineages.

अग्निरुवाच यदोरासन्‌पञ्च पुत्रा ज्येष्ठस्तेषु सहस्रजित् । नीलाञ्जिको रधुः क्रोष्टुः शतजिच्च सहस्रजित् ।। २७५.

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

Śatajit's sons were Haihaya, Reṇuhaya, and Haya; Dharmanetra was Haihaya's son, and Saṃhana was Dharmanetra's.

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

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.
