ऋष्यशृङ्गप्रसादेन जज्ञे स्वकुलवर्धनः चतुरङ्गस्य पुत्रस्तु पृथुलाक्ष इति स्मृतः
By the favor of Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, a son was born who increased his own lineage; the son of Caturaṅga is remembered as Pṛthulākṣa.
पृथुलाक्षसुतश्चापि चम्पनामा बभूव ह चम्पस्य तु पुरी चम्पा पूर्वं या मालिनी भवत्
And Pṛthulākṣa's son was named Campa; Campa's city, Campā, was formerly called Mālinī.
पूर्णभद्रप्रसादेन हर्यङ्गो ऽस्य सुतो ऽभवत् यज्ञे विभाण्डकाच्चास्य वारणः शत्रुवारणः
By the favor of Pūṛṇabhadra, his son was Haryaṅga; and from Vibhāṇḍaka at a sacrifice, his son was Vāraṇa, also called Śatruvāraṇa.
अवतारयामास महीं मन्त्रैर्वाहनमुत्तमम् हर्यङ्गस्य तु दायादो जातो भद्ररथः किल
He brought down to earth, by mantras, an excellent vehicle; and Haryaṅga's heir was born, known as Bhadraratha.
अथ भद्ररथस्यासीद् बृहत्कर्मा जनेश्वरः बृहद्भानुः सुतस्तस्य तस्माज्जज्ञे महात्मवान्
Then Bhadraratha had a son, Bṛhatkarmā, lord of men; his son was Bṛhadbhānu, and from him was born a great-souled one.
बृहद्भानुस्तु राजेन्द्रो जनयामास वै सुतम् नाम्ना जयद्रथं नाम तस्माद्बृहद्रथो नृपः
Bṛhadbhānu, the king, indeed begot a son named Jayadratha; from him came the king Bṛhadratha.
आसीद्बृहद्रथाच्चैव विश्वजिज्जनमेजयः दायादस्तस्य चाङ्गो वै तस्मात्कर्णो ऽभवन्नृपः
From Bṛhadratha came Viśvajit and Janamejaya; his heir was Aṅga, and from him was born the king Karṇa.
कर्णस्य वृषसेनस्तु पृथुसेनस्तथात्मजः एते ऽङ्गस्यात्मजाः सर्वे राजानः कीर्तिता मया विस्तरेणानुपूर्व्याच्च पूरोस्तु शृणुत द्विजाः
Karṇa's sons were Vṛṣasena and Pṛthusena; all these are the sons of Aṅga, kings whom I have recounted in detail and succession. Now hear of Pūru, O twice-born.
कथं सूतात्मजः कर्णः कथमङ्गस्य चात्मजः एतद् इच्छामहे श्रोतुम् अत्यन्तकुशलो ह्य् असि
How is Karṇa the son of a charioteer, and how is he also the son of Aṅga? We wish to hear this, for you are exceedingly skilled.
बृहद्भानुसुतो जज्ञे राजा नाम्ना बृहन्मनाः तस्य पत्नीद्वयं ह्य् आसीच् छैब्यस्य तनये ह्य् उभे यशोदेवी च सत्या च तयोर्वंशं च मे शृणु
Bṛhadbhānu's son was born, a king named Bṛhanmanā; he had two wives, both daughters of the king of the Śibis, Yaśodevī and Satyā. Hear from me their lineage.
जयद्रथं तु राजानं यशोदेवी ह्य् अजीजनत् सा बृहन्मनसः सत्या विजयं नाम विश्रुतम्
Yaśodevī gave birth to the king Jayadratha, and Satyā, wife of Bṛhanmanā, bore the renowned son Vijaya.
विजयस्य बृहत्पुत्रस् तस्य पुत्रो बृहद्रथः बृहद्रथस्य पुत्रस्तु सत्यकर्मा महामनाः
Vijaya's son was Bṛhatputra; his son was Bṛhadratha; Bṛhadratha's son was Satyakarmā, a great-minded man.
सत्यकर्मणो ऽधिरथः सूतश्चाधिरथः स्मृतः यः कर्णं प्रतिजग्राह तेन कर्णस्तु सूतजः तच्चेदं सर्वमाख्यातं कर्णं प्रति यथोदितम्
Satyakarmā's son was Adhiratha, known as a charioteer; he accepted Karṇa, so Karṇa is the son of a charioteer. All this has been told as it was regarding Karṇa.
पूरोः पुत्रो महातेजा राजा स जनमेजयः प्राचीत्वतः सुतस्तस्य यः प्राचीमकरोद्दिशम्
Pūru's son was the mighty king Janamejaya; his son was Prācītvata, who made the eastern region.
प्राचीत्वतस्य तनयो मनस्युश्च तथाभवत् राजा पीतायुधो नाम मनस्योरभवत्सुतः
Prācītvata's son was Manasyu; the king Pītāyudha was the son of Manasyu.
दायादस्तस्य चाप्यासीद् धुन्धुर्नाम महीपतिः धुन्धोर्बहुविधः पुत्रः सम्पातिस्तस्य चात्मजः
His heir was the king named Dhundhu; Dhundhu's son was Bahuvidha, and his son was Sampāti.
सम्पातेस्तु रंहवर्चा भद्राश्वस्तस्य चात्मजः भद्राश्वस्य धृतायां तु दशाप्सरसि सूनवः
Sampāti's son was Raṃhavarcā; Bhadrāśva was his son. Bhadrāśva, by Dhṛtā, had ten sons with Apsaras mothers.
औचेयुश्च हृषेयुश्च कक्षेयुश्च सनेयुकः धृतेयुश्च विनेयुश्च स्थलेयुश्चैव सत्तमः
Auceyu, Hṛṣeyu, Kakṣeyu, Saneyuka, Dhṛteyu, Vineyu, and Sthaleyu, the excellent one.
धर्मेयुः संनतेयुश्च पुण्येयुश्चेति ते दश औचेयोर्ज्वलना नाम भार्या वै तक्षकात्मजा
Dharmeya, Samnateyu, and Punyeyu—these ten are called the sons of Ucchaiorjvala, the wife of Takshaka's son.
तस्यां स जनयामास अन्तिनारं महीपतिम् अन्तिनारो मनस्विन्यां पुत्राञ्जज्ञे पराञ्छुभान्
From her, he begot Antinara, the king; and Antinara, with Manasvini, begot sons who were noble and illustrious.
अमूर्तरयसं वीरं त्रिवनं चैव धार्मिकम् गौरी कन्या तृतीया च मान्धातुर्जननी शुभा
Among them were Amurtarayas, a valiant one, and Trivana, a righteous man; Gauri was the third daughter, the auspicious mother of Mandhata.
इलिना तु यमस्यासीत् कन्या याजनयत्सुतान् ब्रह्मवादपराक्रान्ताञ् छुभदा त्व् इलिना ह्य् अभूत्
From Ilina, a daughter was born, who gave birth to sons devoted to Brahmanic speech and valor; Shubhada was indeed born from Ilina.
उपदानवी सुतांल्लेभे चतुरस्त्विलिनात्मजात् ऋष्यन्तमथ दुष्यन्तं प्रवीरम् अनधं तथा
Upadanavi obtained four sons from Ilina: Rishyanta, Dushyanta, Praveera, and Anadha.
चक्रवर्ती ततो यज्ञे दुष्यन्तात्समितिंजयः शकुन्तलायां भरतो यस्य नाम्ना च भारताः
From Dushyanta, the universal emperor, was born Samitinjaya; from Shakuntala, Bharata, after whom the Bharatas are named.
दौष्यन्तीं प्रति राजानं वागूचे चाशरीरिणी माता भस्त्रा पितुः पुत्रो येन जातः स एव सः
To Dushyanta, regarding his son, a bodiless voice spoke: 'Mother is the bellows, father the begetter; the son born from him is truly his.'
भरस्व पुत्रं दुष्यन्त मावमंस्थाः शकुन्तलाम् रेतोधां नयते पुत्रः परेतं यमसादनात् त्वं चास्य धाता गर्भस्य सत्यमाह शकुन्तला
'Acknowledge your son, Dushyanta; do not slight Shakuntala. The son leads the father, who has sown the seed, from Yama's abode. You are the creator of this child; Shakuntala speaks the truth.'
भरतस्य विनष्टेषु तनयेषु पुरा किल पुत्राणां मातृकात् कोपात् सुमहान्संक्षयः कृतः
Long ago, when Bharata's sons perished, a great destruction was wrought out of the mothers' wrath.
ततो मरुद्भिरानीय पुत्रः स तु बृहस्पतेः संक्रामितो भरद्वाजो मरुद्भिर्भरतस्य तु
Then, brought by the Maruts, a son of Brihaspati was transferred to Bharata by the Maruts.
भरतस्य भरद्वाजः पुत्रार्थं मारुतैः कथम् संक्रामितो महातेजास् तन्नो ब्रूहि यथातथम्
How was Bharadvaja, of great splendor, transferred by the Maruts to Bharata for the sake of a son? Tell me this truly.
पत्न्यामापन्नसत्त्वायाम् उशिजः स स्थितो भुवि भ्रातुर्भार्यां स दृष्ट्वा तु बृहस्पतिरुवाच ह
When his wife was pregnant, Ushija remained on earth; seeing his brother's wife, Brihaspati spoke thus.
