Bhima, the illustrious son of Vidarbha, continued his lineage through his son Kunti. From Kunti was born Dhṛṣṭa, a warrior celebrated for his valor on the battlefield. Dhṛṣṭa, renowned for his righteousness, fathered three heroic sons: Avanta, Dasharha, and the mighty Vishahara. The line of Dasharha continued with his son Vyoma, whose own son was Jīmūta. Jīmūta’s son was Vikṛti, and Vikṛti’s son was Bhīmaratha. Bhīmaratha’s son was named Navaratha, who in turn fathered Dasharatha. From Dasharatha was born Shakuni, and Shakuni’s son was Karambha. Karambha’s son was Devarāta, a king of great repute. Devarāta’s son was Devakṣatra, and his own son was Vṛddhakṣatra, famed for his greatness. From Devakṣatra was born Madhur, a king equal to the gods and founder of the illustrious Madhus, whose speech was as sweet as his name. Madhur married a noblewoman from the Ikshvaku lineage, and with the Vaidarbhi woman, he begot Purudvan, a man of supreme virtue. Satvan, born of this line and endowed with every virtue, brought great fame to the Sātvatas. Thus, the creation of the great-souled Jyāmagha is remembered, and those who know this lineage are blessed with joy and progeny. Satvata’s wife, Kaushalya, gave birth to virtuous sons: Bhāgina, Bhajamāna, the divine Devāvṛdha, and a king. Also born were Andhaka, mighty-armed, and Vṛṣṇi, the delight of the Yadus, thus establishing four principal lineages. Bhajamāna had two wives, Sṛñjayi and Bāhyakā, and also Upabāhyakā, from whom many sons were born. With Bāhyaka-Sṛñjayi, he had Krimi, Kramaṇa, Dhṛṣṭa, Śūra, and Puraṃjaya. With Upabāhyaka-Sṛñjayi, he had Āyutājit, Sahasrājit, Śatājit, and Dāsaka. King Devāvṛdha, a performer of great sacrifices, practiced intense austerity, desiring a son endowed with all virtues. He lived on leaves, constantly purified himself with water, and was ever-pleased by the river, which favored him. Yet, he could not find a suitable woman who could bear such a son. The river herself, moved by his devotion, resolved, “I will go and become his companion.” Assuming the form of a splendid maiden, she approached the king, who desired her. In her, the noble king placed a radiant embryo, and in the tenth month, the best of rivers gave birth to a son. She bore Babhrū, a son endowed with all virtues, and thus the line of Devāvṛdha continued. Those who know the ancient lore celebrate this lineage, extolling the virtues of the great-souled Devāvṛdha, just as they have always done, both from afar and near. Babhrū was the best among men, and Devāvṛdha was equal to the gods. In their line, sixty-six thousand and seven men attained immortality—sacrificers, generous lords, wise, devoted to Brahman, and steadfast in arms—even surpassing Babhrū and Devāvṛdha in their achievements. From this great lineage arose the Bhojas, accompanied by the Sārtikas. From Andhaka, through the daughter of Kāśya, four sons were born: Kukura, Bhajamāna, Śaśaka, and Balabarhiṣa. Kukura’s son was Vṛṣṭi, and Vṛṣṭi’s son was Kapotaromā. Kapotaromā’s son was Tiliri, whose son was Punarvasu, and from Punarvasu was born Abhiji. Abhijit had twin sons: Āhuka and Śrāhuka, both renowned among the illustrious. A verse is recited about Āhuka: “Great as a youth, surrounded by a white retinue.” Āhuka, equipped with eighty coats of armor, was always at the forefront; none in his line were without sons, none lived less than a hundred years, and none reached a thousand. None of impure deeds, none who neglected sacrifice, could approach the Bhojas. In the east, the Nāgas went to the Bhojas, and from Soma, ten thousand armies with standards, chariots, troops, and elephants—resounding like thunderclouds—were sent forth. Twenty-one thousand, adorned in silver and gold armor, were found in the north as well. The Bhojas, protectors of the earth, were skilled in archery and wore jingling girdles. The Andhakas also gave their sister to the Avantis. To Āhuka and Kāśyā were born two sons: Devaka and Ugrasena, both filled with divine power. Devaka had four sons, equal to the gods: Devavan, Upadeva, Samdeva, and Devarakshita. Devaki had seven daughters, whom she gave in marriage to Vasudeva: Shantideva, Sudeva, Devarakshita, Vrikadevi, Upadevi, Sunamni, and the seventh, Navogra. These were the daughters of Ugrasena, among whom Kamsa was the eldest. Ugrasena’s sons were Nyagrodha, Sunama, Kanka, Subhushana, Rashtrapala, Sutanur, Anavrishti, and Pushtiman. Their sisters were five: Kamsa, Kamsavati, Sutanū, Rashtrapali, and Kanka—all women of noble qualities. Thus has the lineage of Ugrasena and his sons, born of the Kukura dynasty, been described. Ugrasena upholds the mighty dynasty of the Kukuras, a line resplendent with virtue and strength.
