On the twelfth day, Hari is honored; on the thirteenth, Kāma and Maheśvara are worshipped; and on the fourteenth and fifteenth, Brahmā and the other ancestors are revered. With these observances, the sacred vows are fulfilled. Hari then spoke, promising to reveal the lineages of kings and their histories. From Viṣṇu’s navel arose Brahmā, and from Viṣṇu’s thumb came Dakṣa. From Dakṣa emerged the fathers, and from them, Vivasvān. Vivasvān’s son was Manu, and from Manu came his sons: Ikṣvāku, Śaryāti, Nṛga, Dhṛṣṭa, and Praṣadhra. Manu also had sons named Nariṣyanta, Nābhāga, Diṣṭa, and Śaśaka. Among his children was a daughter, Ilā, whose son was Sudyumna. From Budha and Ilā was born Purūravas, a king and son of Rudra. Sudyumna, Ilā’s son, had three sons: Utkala, Vinata, and Gaya. Abhṛśraddha was born from Govadha, and Pṛṣadhra was another son of Manu. Karūṣa gave rise to the Kṣatriyas called the Kārūṣas. Diṣṭa’s son, Nābhāga, became a Vaiśya; his son was Bhalandana, whose son was Vatsaprīti. Vatsaprīti’s son was Pāṃśu, followed by Khanitra, then Bhūpa.

Sṛñjaya’s son was Sañjaya, whose son was Sahadeva, and Sahadeva’s son was Kṛśāśva. Kṛśāśva’s son was Somadatta, and from Somadatta came Janamejaya. Janamejaya’s son was Sumanti. These were the rulers of Vaiśālī. Śaryāti’s daughter was Sukanyā, who became the wife of Cyavana. Śāryāti also had a son, Ananta, whose son was Revata.

Ambarīṣa’s son was Virūpa, and Virūpa’s son was Pṛṣadaśva. Rathīnara, devoted to Vāsudeva, was Pṛṣadaśva’s son. Ikṣvāku had three sons: Vikukṣi, Nimi, and Daṇḍaka. Vikukṣi, son of Ikṣvāku, was called Śaśāda because he ate a hare. Śaśāda’s son was Purañjaya, whose son was Kakutstha. Kakutstha’s son was Anenā, and Anenā’s son was Pṛthu. Pṛthu’s son was Viśvarāta, and Viśvarāta’s son was Ārdra. Ārdra’s son was Yuvanāśva, whose son was Śāvasta. Śāvasta’s son was Bṛhadaśva, and Bṛhadaśva’s son was Kuvalāśva. Kuvalāśva’s son, Dhundhumāra, became renowned, and his son was Dṛḍhaśva. Dṛḍhaśva’s sons were Candrāśva, Kapilāśva, and Haryaśva. Haryaśva’s son was Nikumba, whose son was Hitāśva. Hitāśva’s son was Pūjāśva, and Pūjāśva’s son was Yuvanāśva. Yuvanāśva’s son was Māndhātṛ, and with Bindumatī he had three sons: Mucukunda, Ambarīṣa, and Purukutsa. Māndhātṛ also had fifty daughters, who became the wives of the sage Saubhari. From Yuvanāśva and Ambarīṣa came Harita, and Yuvanāśva also had a son named Ambarīṣa.

Vṛka’s son was King Bāhu, and Bāhu’s son was Sagara, remembered for his greatness. Sagara and Sumati had sixty thousand sons, O best of men! But with Keśinī, Sagara had only one son, named Asamañjasa. Asamañjasa’s learned son was Aṃśumān, whose son was Dilīpa. Dilīpa’s son was Bhagīratha, the king who brought the sacred Gaṅgā to earth.

Khaṭvāṅga’s son was Dīrghabāhu, whose son was Aja. Aja’s son was Daśaratha, renowned for his four mighty sons: Rāma, Lakṣmaṇa, Śatrughna, and Bharata. From Rāma were born Kuśa and Lava; from Bharata, Tārkṣa and Puṣkara; and from Lakṣmaṇa came Citrāṅgada and Candraketu.
