There once lived a king who was unwavering in his devotion to charity and righteousness, always steadfast in virtuous conduct. But a moment of fear swept through the eminent sages, causing them to flee hastily. Amidst this turmoil, Duryodhana appeared, blazing like fire, his mighty hand wielding a spear. As he advanced, Duryodhana discovered the supreme place, well concealed by the goddess Sarasvati. Upon seeing Sarasvati directly, he bowed his head in deep reverence. Overwhelmed, he fell prostrate upon the ground and humbly declared, “I have come to you for refuge.” He sought protection from the goddess of speech, the sovereign without beginning or end, the celibate, the consort of Hiranyagarbha, three-eyed and adorned with the moon. In his fear, he pleaded, “Protect me, O supreme lady, frightened and seeking refuge.” Duryodhana had come to slay at the very place where Sarasvati dwelled. The abode of the Mother of the three worlds shone with the brilliance of the moon and the sun. There, he pierced the demon in the chest with his spear, casting him down to the ground. With the demon slain at that sacred spot, Duryodhana became fearless and swift. He then journeyed to a magnificent city, O best of Brahmins, one that rivaled the city of Purandara. There, he worshipped the goddess Sarasvati with various sacrifices and offerings of gold. His son Shakuni, devoted to the goddess and possessing great brilliance, followed in his footsteps. Another son, Devakshatra, performed the grand Ashvamedha sacrifice. Duryodhana had two sons: Sutrama and Anura. Among them was a great soul, devoted to charity and foremost among those skilled in the science of archery. He established the teaching as heard from Kundagola and others, founding a great treatise beneficial to Kundas and many others. This pious and renowned king was the one who established it. His eldest, Bhajamana, stood out as the foremost among archers. The lord prayed, “May my son be endowed with all virtues,” desiring his child to be righteous, handsome, and always devoted to true knowledge. Among his descendants, Nimi and Krikana were renowned as the foremost. In the lineage of Vrishni, Sumitra was strong, as were Anamitra and Shini. Prasena, greatly fortunate, and Satrajit, the excellent one, also belonged to this illustrious line. Satyavān, endowed with truth, had a son named Satyaka. Satyaka’s wise son was Kuni, whose son was Yugandhara. Prishni had two sons: Svaphalka and Citraka. Upamanghu and Manghu, and many other sons, enriched the family. Among them were Upadeva, of virtuous soul, and Vishvapramathin, as well as Ashvagriva, Subahu, Suparshva, and Kagaveshana. Kukura, Bhajamana, Shuci, and Kambalabarhisha were also counted among them, along with Kapotaroma and Vipula, whose son was Vilomaka. Vilomaka’s name is also known as Anu, and he was called Anakadundubhi. To him, the god Brahma, lord of the worlds, granted a boon. O sages, Anu received superiority over his teacher and the ability to assume any form at will. He worshipped Sthanu, honored by the gods, with song, completing the lineage and the tale of devotion and valor.
