शृणुध्वं मुनिशार्दूलाः पुरोर् वंशं महात्मनः विस्तरेणानुपूर्व्या च प्रथमं वदतो मम
Hear, O best of sages, the lineage of Puru, the great soul, as I recount it to you in detail and in order from the beginning.
पुरोः पुत्रः सुवीरो ऽभून् मनस्युस् तस्य चात्मजः राजा चाभयदो नाम मनस्योर् अभवत् सुतः
Puru's son was the mighty king Suvīra; his son was Manasyu, and Manasyu's son was the king named Abhayada.
तथैवाभयदस्यासीत् सुधन्वा नाम पार्थिवः सुधन्वनः सुबाहुश् च रौद्राश्वस् तस्य चात्मजः
In the same way, Abhayada had a son named Sudhanvan, a king; Sudhanvan's son was Subāhu, and Raudrāśva was his son.
रौद्राश्वस्य दशार्णेयुः कृकणेयुस् तथैव च कक्षेयुस्थण्डिलेयुश् च सन्नतेयुस् तथैव च
Raudrāśva had sons: Daśārṇeya, Kṛkaṇeya, Kakṣeya, Sthaṇḍileya, and Sannateya as well.
ऋचेयुश् च जलेयुश् च स्थलेयुश् च महाबलः धनेयुश् च वनेयुश् च पुत्रकाश् च दश स्त्रियः
Also Ṛceya, Jaleya, Sthaleya the mighty, Dhaneya, and Vaneya—these ten sons, and ten daughters as well.
भद्रा शूद्रा च मद्रा च शलदा मलदा तथा खलदा च ततो विप्रा नलदा सुरसापि च
Bhadrā, Śūdrā, Madrā, Śaladā, Maladā, Khaladā, Viprā, Naladā, Surasā, and Gocapalā—these were the ten.
तथा गोचपला च स्त्रीरत्नकूटा च ता दश ऋषिर् जातो ऽत्रिवंशे च तासां भर्ता प्रभाकरः
Thus, Gocapalā and Strīratnakūṭā—these ten; a sage was born in the lineage of Atri, and their husband was Prabhākara.
भद्रायां जनयाम् आस सुतं सोमं यशस्विनम् स्वर्भानुना हते सूर्ये पतमाने दिवो महीम्
From Bhadrā, he begot a son, the illustrious Soma, when the sun was struck down by Svarbhānu and was falling from the sky to the earth.
तमोभिभूते लोके च प्रभा येन प्रवर्तिता स्वस्ति ते ऽस्त्व् इति चोक्त्वा वै पतमानो दिवाकरः
When the world was overcome by darkness, it was he who brought forth light; saying, 'May there be well-being for you,' the falling sun spoke thus.
वचनात् तस्य विप्रर्षेर् न पपात दिवो महीम् अत्रिश्रेष्ठानि गोत्राणि यश् चकार महातपाः
By the word of that sage among Brāhmaṇas, the sun did not fall from the sky to the earth; the great ascetic Atri established the foremost lineages.
यज्ञेष्व् अत्रेर् बलं चैव देवैर् यस्य प्रतिष्ठितम् स तासु जनयाम् आस पुत्रिकास्व् आत्मकामजान्
In the sacrifices of Atri, his power was established by the gods; he begot sons from those daughters, according to his own wish.
दश पुत्रान् महासत्त्वांस् तपस्य् उग्रे रतांस् तथा ते तु गोत्रकरा विप्रा ऋषयो वेदपारगाः
He begot ten sons of great strength, devoted to severe austerities; those Brāhmaṇas, creators of lineages, were sages accomplished in the Vedas.
स्वस्त्यात्रेया इति ख्याताः किंच त्रिधनवर्जिताः कक्षेयोस् तनयास् त्व् आसंस् त्रय एव महारथाः
They became known as the Svastyātreyas, and were without the three debts; Kakṣeya had three sons, all great chariot-warriors.
सभानरश् चाक्षुषश् च परमन्युस् तथैव च सभानरस्य पुत्रस् तु विद्वान् कालानलो नृपः
Sabhānara, Cākṣuṣa, and Paramanyu likewise; Sabhānara's son was the wise king Kālānala.
कालानलस्य धर्मज्ञः सृञ्जयो नाम वै सुतः सृञ्जयस्याभवत् पुत्रो वीरो राजा पुरंजयः
Kālānala's son was Sṛñjaya, knower of dharma; Sṛñjaya's son was the heroic king Puraṃjaya.
जनमेजयो मुनिश्रेष्ठाः पुरंजयसुतो ऽभवत् जनमेजयस्य राजर्षेर् महाशालो ऽभवत् सुतः
O best of sages, Janamejaya was born as the son of Puraṃjaya; Janamejaya, the royal sage, had a son named Mahāśāla.
देवेषु स परिज्ञातः प्रतिष्ठितयशा भुवि महामना नाम सुतो महाशालस्य विश्रुतः

Nṛgā, Kṛmi, Navā, Darvā, and the fifth, Dṛṣadvatī, were the five wives of Uśīnara, and from them arose noble lineages.

Vṛṣadarbha, Suvīra, Kekaya, and Madraka—these were his sons, and their regions flourished: Kekayas and Madrakas likewise.

Born in human form, that king wielded a golden bow; Bali, the great yogi, became a ruler in ancient times.
