Madri gave birth to Yudhajit, and then to Devamidhuṣa, Anamitra, and Shibi, with Kritalakshana as the fifth. From Anamitra came his son Nighna, and Nighna had two sons: Prasena, renowned for his valor, and Shaktisena. Among all the jewels of the earth, the unrivaled gem Syamantaka belonged to Prasena; it was the king of jewels. Though Govinda, Krishna himself, often sought the Syamantaka jewel, Prasena kept it close to his heart and never yielded it—even Krishna, though capable, could not seize it. One day, Prasena, adorned with this precious jewel, went hunting and entered a cave inhabited by a wild beast. Within, he encountered a bear; the bear saw Prasena, and Prasena saw the bear. The bear slew Prasena and took the jewel, departing unseen, having killed Prasena who had entered the cave at that moment. When Krishna learned of Prasena’s death, suspicion arose in his mind. It was clear to Krishna that Prasena had been slain for the sake of the jewel. Prasena had gone to the forest adorned with the jewel; seeing him, the bear killed him. Krishna declared, “I will slay this wicked one who has become an enemy among the Vrishnis.” After some time, Krishna went hunting again and, by chance, came near the entrance of the cave. The powerful king of bears, Jāmbavān, made a great noise upon seeing Krishna. Hearing this, Krishna entered the cave, sword in hand, and saw mighty Jāmbavān. Krishna, his eyes reddened with anger, swiftly seized Jāmbavān. The bear then praised Krishna with acts devoted to Vishnu. Pleased, the Blessed Lord offered Jāmbavān a boon. Jāmbavān requested, “I desire death at your hand by the discus, O Lord; and may my auspicious daughter obtain you as her husband. This jewel, which I acquired after slaying Prasena, O Lord—” Krishna, mighty-armed, fulfilled Jāmbavān’s wish by slaying him with his discus, accomplishing his task, and taking both the jewel and the maiden. He returned the Syamantaka jewel to Satrājit in the assembly of all the Sātvatas, for Krishna had suffered from the false accusation that he had killed Prasena for the jewel. All the Yādavas then said to Krishna, “We believed that Prasena was slain by you.” Satrājit had ten noble wives, daughters of the king of the Kaikeyas, and from them were born one hundred sons, renowned and mighty, with Bhaṅgakāra as the eldest. Vratavatī, wife of Bhaṅgakāra, bore three delicate, lotus-eyed daughters. Satyabhāmā, foremost among women and steadfast in vows, and Padmāvatī were given to Krishna. From Anamitra was born Śini, the youngest of the Vrishnis; his son was Satyaka, and Sātyaki was Satyaka’s son. Śini’s grandsons were Satyavān and Yuyudhāna, both illustrious; Yuyudhāna’s son was Asaṅga, and Asaṅga’s son was Dyumni. Dyumni’s son was Yugaṃdhara, and thus the Śainyas became renowned. This is the lineage of Anamitra, the descendant of the Vrishnis. Anamitra also fathered the hero Yudhājit on earth, and two other heroic sons, Vṛṣabha and Kṣatra. Vṛṣabha married the daughter of the king of Kāśī, and from Jayantī, Jayanta had a virtuous son. Akrūra, learned and exceedingly valiant, fond of guests and most generous, fathered Sadāyajña. Ratnā, the daughter of Śaibya, became Akrūra’s wife, and he begot upon her eleven mighty sons: Upalambha, Sadālambha, Vṛkala, Vīrya, Savītara, Sadāpakṣa, Śatrughna, Vārimejaya, Dharmabhṛt, Dharmavarman, and Dhṛṣṭamāna. All these officiating priests were born from Ratnā. From Akrūra, in Ugrasena’s line, two sons were born—Devavān and Upadeva—both enhancers of the lineage, resembling the gods. Then, from Aśvinī, were born sons: Pṛthu, Vipṛthu, Aśvatthāmā, Subāhu, Supārśvaka, and Gaveṣaṇa, as well as Vṛṣṭinemi, Sudharmā, Śaryāti, Abhūmi, Varjabhūmi, Śramiṣṭha, and Śravaṇa. Whoever knows the story of Krishna’s false accusation and how he cast it away is not subject to the curse of false accusation by anyone. Aikṣvākī bore Śūra, renowned, wondrous, and praiseworthy. From Śūra, ten sons were born to Bhojā through his manliness. Among them was Vasudeva, mighty-armed, formerly called Ānakadundubhi; then Devamārga, and after him, Devaśravā. Anādhṛṣṭi, Śini, Nanda, Sṛñjaya, Śyāma, Śamīka, Saṃyūpa, and five noble women were also born. The five noble women were Śrutakīrti, Pṛthā, Śrutādevī, Śrutaśravā, and Rājādhidevī—each a mother of heroes. Śrutādevī bore to Kṛta a son, Sugrīva. In Kaikeyī, from Śrutakīrti, was born the righteous king Anuvrata. From Śrutaśravā, the Cedi king Sunītha was born, greatly devoted to righteousness and a destroyer of foes. Through friendship, Sunītha gave his daughter to Kuntibhoja, and thus Kuntī, also called Pṛthā, became known as Vasudeva’s sister.
