Lomaka’s son became king, ruling his land with wisdom and strength for seven hundred years. In time, a son was born to him—Nyūha—who eventually left that place. Nyūha himself had three sons: Sīma, Śama, and Bhāva. One night, as Nyūha slept, Lord Viṣṇu appeared to him in a dream. The Lord spoke gently, “My child Nyūha, listen well: in seven days, destruction will descend upon the world. Preserve life among the devotees, for you are destined to become the greatest of all.” Heeding the divine warning, Nyūha constructed a vast vessel, measuring three hundred cubits in length and fifty cubits in width. With his family, he ascended into this great ark and devoted himself to deep meditation on Viṣṇu. Then, for forty days, Nyūha brought forth a mighty rain. He and his three sons gathered together, but they could not reach the great city. Only Nyūha and his family survived; all others perished in the deluge. In the midst of these trials, prayers and salutations were offered again and again to Mahālakṣmī, to Viṣṇu’s mother, and to goddess Rādhā, as well as to Revati, Puṣpavatī, and Svarṇavatī. The world trembled with the force of a great wind and the deafening roar of mighty clouds. In their fear, they called out, “O Bhairavī, protect us, your servants, from this terror.” After a year, the waters receded and the earth reappeared as dry land. Nyūha remained, still aboard the vessel with his family, preserved by divine grace. Now begins the account of the kings who reigned in the Kali age. When the Blessed Lord was pleased, Nyūha’s lineage flourished. In those times, a foreign tongue was created, turning people away from the words of the Veda, but the god of wisdom bestowed intelligence in secret. The descendants of Nyūha included Sima, Hama, and the renowned Yakuta, as well as Madi, Yunanas, and Tuvalomasaka. There were also Jumra, Dasha, Kanabja, Riphata, and Tajarruma, along with Ilisha, Taralisha, and Kittihuda. From Nyūha’s second son, Dhamat, four sons were born. The lands of the foreigners, known as the six sons of Kusha, became renowned, including Savatika, the powerful Nimarukha, Akkada, Vavuna, and the people of the Rasana region. After two thousand centuries had passed, understanding dawned, and the story was spoken again. One of these foreign kings honored his kingdom for five hundred years. Afterward, Simha’s son ruled for four hundred years. Ivrata’s son, who achieved greatness equal to his father, is remembered, and from him the kingdom was established, with a son named Rau. Rau’s son, Juja, matched his father’s might and ruled, conquering many foes. Juja’s son was Taharas, who too equaled his father’s stature. Thus, the lineages of these kings have been recounted, their names remembered through time. Their growth and deeds during the Kali age have been briefly described. Eventually, that lineage moved to another region, and the foreigners became joyless. At this point, Vyāsa said: Upon hearing this narrative, all the sages dwelling in the city of Vishala listened with great attention and reverence.
