From the noble line of Svadhājit was born Anamitrāśinī, and from Anamitra descended Nighna. Nighna’s son was Śatrājita, and Anamitra had other renowned sons as well—Prasena and Śibi. Śibi’s lineage continued with Satyaka, and from Satyaka came the valiant Sātyaki. Sañjaya was Sātyaki’s son, and from him was born Kuli, whose son was Yugandhara. These are remembered as the descendants of Śibi. In the same illustrious line, Vṛṣṇi was born of Anamitra. Śvaphalka fathered Citraka, and with Gāndinī, Śvaphalka begot Akrūra, a devotee of Viṣṇu. Akrūra’s sons were Upamadgu, Devadyota, Devavān, and Upadeva. From Citraka came Pṛthu and Vipṛthu, while Śuci was the son of Andhaka. Bhajamāna fathered Kukura and Kambalabarhiṣa.

To Māriṣā were born ten sons, beginning with Vasudeva; her daughters were Pṛthā, Śrutadevī, Śrutakīrti, and Śrutaśravā. King Adhideva gave Pṛthā, daughter of Śūra, to Kunti’s son—she became the wife of Pāṇḍu. By the grace of Dharma, Vāyu, and Indra, she bore sons: Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma, and Arjuna.

The seventh was Saṅkarṣaṇa, and the eighth was Kṛṣṇa, Hari himself, who had sixteen thousand wives. Among these wives, Rukmiṇī, Satyabhāmā, Lakṣmaṇā of the lovely smile, the noble Jāmbavatī, and four others each bore many sons. The chief among them were Pradyumna, Cārudeṣṇa, and Sāmba. Pradyumna’s son by Kakudminī was Aniruddha, mighty in strength. From Aniruddha and Subhadrā was born King Vajra; his son was Pratibāhu, whose son was Cāru.

Turning to the line of Anu, his son was Sabhānara, followed by Kālañjaya, then Sṛñjaya, then Puruñjaya, then Janamejaya, and then Mahāśāla. Mahāmanā, the great-minded, was known as Mahāśāla Duśīnara. From Aśīnara was born Śibi, and from Śibi, Vṛṣadarbha. From Mahāmanojāt came Titikṣu’s son Ruṣadratha, followed by Hema, then Sutapā.
