In ancient times, the kingdom was established with less than a hundred subjects, and from that lineage arose Ānandavarddhana. After him, his son Brahmabhakta took up the rule, maintaining the kingdom at less than a hundred. Brahmabhakta’s son, Ātmaprapūjaka, inherited the throne and established the kingdom equal to his father. In succession, Dhairaṇyavarddhana followed, ruling with the same strength and virtue as his predecessor. Next came Vidhātṛprapūjaka, who preserved the kingdom’s stature, and from him descended Vairañcya, known by that name. The lineage continued with Śamavartī, who held the kingdom equal to his father, followed by Pitṛvarddhana, who maintained the same glory. Saumadatti, his son, ruled in equal measure, and Avataṃsa succeeded him, upholding the kingdom’s prosperity. Parātaṃsa followed, and then Samātaṃsa, each ruling as their fathers had, neither diminishing nor increasing the kingdom’s standing. Adhitasamsa came next, performing his duties as king with the same diligence as his father, and after him, Samuttamsa took up the mantle. The line then passed to Duṣyanta, who ruled with the same excellence as his father. Duṣyanta, after his reign, attained heaven, having lived for thirty-six years by the power of great illusion. In his honor, the region was named Khanda and became renowned as Bhārata. He ruled for a divine hundred years, and from him was born a mighty successor. This successor, too, ruled for a divine hundred years, and his son Anyumān continued the legacy. Bṛhatkṣetra then arose in the lineage, attaining a position equal to his father. His son, Vītihotra, ruled the kingdom for ten thousand years, maintaining its prosperity. Śakrahotra succeeded him, achieving a stature equal to his father. During this era, Ayodhya was ruled by the illustrious and mighty Pratāpendra. His son Maṇḍalīka inherited the throne, followed by Dhanurdīpta, both ruling with the same might as their fathers. A son named Hastī was born in this lineage, and alongside him, the elephant Gaja, son of Airāvata, was notable. Hastī journeyed westward and established the city of Hastinā, making it his residence and ruling there for ten thousand years. From Hastī was born Rakṣapāla, who matched his father’s greatness. His son, Kuru, accomplished half the position of his father. At that time, in the Sāttvata lineage, there was a mighty one named Vṛṣṇi. By the boon granted by the Blessed Lord Hari, performer of wondrous deeds, Vṛṣṇi’s son Nirāvṛtti came forth, attaining a position equal to his father. Nirāvṛtti’s son Viyāmuna ruled with the same virtue, followed by Vikṛti, who maintained his father’s stature. From Vikṛti was born Navaratha, who ruled with equal greatness, and then Śakuni, who did the same. Devaratha succeeded Śakuni, and his son Madhur continued the legacy, each preserving the honor and strength of their forefathers. Thus, the royal line endured, each ruler upholding the kingdom’s dignity, their names echoing through time as embodiments of steadfastness and noble rule.
