Then, by divine grace, Dīrghatamas was restored—his youth returned, his life extended, and his sight granted anew. Because of the cows, he came to be known as Gautama. Kakṣīvān, his devoted son, accompanied his father to the mountain dwellers and, following the prescribed instructions, undertook great austerities for his father’s sake. Over a long period, Dīrghatamas was purified of his darkness; casting off all faults, he attained deep devotion to Brahman. In gratitude and fulfillment, Dīrghatamas said to his son, “O lord, I am a father who has a true son; by you, O illustrious one, I am made complete.” Kakṣīvān, now self-mastered, attained the abode of Brahmā; his devotion to Brahman bore fruit, and he fathered a thousand sons. These sons, known as the Gautamas, were dark-complexioned. Thus is recounted the story of Dīrghatamas, son of Bali, who was himself son of Virocana. The meeting and interweaving of these two lineages has thus been described. Bali established his five sinless sons in their places. He himself, accomplished in yoga, moves about unseen by all beings, awaiting the proper time. Among the descendants of Aṅga, the royal sage, was King Dadhivāhana. Because of the fault of Sudeṣṇā, King Anapāna was born. Anapāna’s son was the king called Diviratha, whose son was the wise Dharmaratha. This illustrious Dharmaratha, together with Indra, drank Soma at a sacrifice held on Mount Viṣṇupada, the sacred abode of the great soul. Dharmaratha’s son was King Citraratha, and from him came King Daśaratha, known as Lomapāda, whose daughter was Śāntā. This Daśaratha, heroic and possessed of a great mind and fourfold army, was born by the grace of the sage Ṛṣyaśṛṅga and became the enhancer of his lineage. His son was known as Chaturanga, and another son, Pṛthulāśa, is also mentioned. Pṛthulāśa’s son was Campa, after whom the city Campāvatī—also called Campā—was named and inhabited by the four classes. For sixty thousand years, he resided in Campāvatī, where Brahmins, Kṣatriyas, and Vaiśyas each performed their proper duties. All were devoted to dharma, to austerity, and were followers of Viṣṇu. Taṇḍikaraṭa’s son, Vāraṇa—also called Śakravāraṇa—was born and brought to earth the excellent Mandhor vehicle. The heir of Haryyanga was King Bhadraratha, whose son was Bṛhatkarmā, lord of the people. Bṛhadratha was his son, and from him was born Bṛhanmanā. Bṛhanmanā, O king, begot a son named Jayadratha. From Jayadratha arose King Ṛḍharatha, and from him came Viśvajit Janamejaya. His heir, from the line of the Angas, was the king Karṇa. Karṇa’s son was Śūrasena, who is remembered as a twice-born. A question arises—how was Karṇa, son of a charioteer, also a descendant of Anga? Listen in detail, for the account is subtle. Bṛhadbhānu’s son was King Bṛhanmanā, who had two wives, both daughters of the Caidya. Each bore him a son: Yaśodevī and Satyā. To Yaśodevī was born King Jayadratha; to Satyā, whose status was between Brahmin and Kṣatriya, was born Vijaya. Vijaya’s son was Dhṛti, whose son was Dhṛtavrata. Dhṛtavrata’s son was Satyakarma, renowned for his great deeds. Satyakarma’s son was the charioteer Adhiratha, who adopted Karṇa. Thus, Karṇa became known as the son of a charioteer. This is the lineage and connection of Karṇa, as you wished to know. Thus have all the kings descended from Anga been recounted. Now, listen in order to the descendants of Pūru. The Sūta spoke: Pūru’s son was the mighty-armed King Janamejaya. His son was Aviddha, who conquered the eastern direction. From Aviddha came Pravīra, whose son was Manasyu. Manasyu’s son was King Jayada, whose son was Dhundhu, a great king. Dhundhu’s son was Bahugavi, and Bahugavi’s son was Sañjāti. Now hear of Sañjāti’s son, Raudrāśva, who by the Apsaras Ghṛtācī had ten sons: Rajeyu, Kṛteyu, Vakṣeyu, Sthaṇḍileyu, Ghṛteyu, Jaleyu, and Sthaleyu—these seven; and Dharmeyu, Sannateyu, and Vaneyu—these three, making ten in all. There were also Rudra, Śūdra, Madra, Śubhā, and Jāmalajā, as well as Talā, Khalā, and the seven, and what is known as Gopajalā, together with Tāmrarasā and Ratnakūṭī. From their lineage, Ātreya was born, and their lord was named Prabhākara. Anādṛṣṭa was the royal sage, and his son was Riveyu. Riveyu’s wife was Jvalanā, daughter of Takṣaka; in this noble lady, the royal sage begot a son named Ranti. Ranti, son of Nara and Sarasvatī, begot virtuous sons: Trasū, Pratiratha, and Dhruva, who was exceedingly righteous. Gaurī, the renowned daughter, was the auspicious mother of Māndhātṛ. Dhurya, son of Pratiratha, had a son named Kaṇṭha, whose son was Medhātithi, a divine sage. From Kaṇṭha arose the Kāṇṭhāyana Brahmins. Thus, in this lineage, a daughter bore sons. Trasū had a beloved son, Malina, a speaker of Brahman; then Upadāta was born, and thus he had four sons: Suṣmanta, Duṣyanta, Pravīra, and Anagha. Thereafter, the emperor was born—Dauṣyanti, the foremost among kings. In Śakuntalā, Bharata was born, after whom the land is called Bhārata. To King Duṣyanta, a bodiless voice spoke, affirming, “The mother is the bellows, the father is the son; by whom he was born, he is indeed the same. Accept your son, Duṣyanta,” as Śakuntalā spoke the truth.
