After the overthrow of Kaṇṭhāyana and the forceful defeat of Suśarman, and after the remaining might of the Śṛṅga kings was destroyed, Sindhuka, descended from the Andhra lineage, arose and gained dominion over the earth. Sindhuka ruled as king for twenty-three years. After him, Bhāta took the throne and ruled for eight years, followed by another who reigned for ten years. It was then that Śrī Sātakarṇi, the son of Sindhuka, ascended as a great and illustrious king, ruling for a remarkable span of fifty-six years. His son, Āpādabaddha, succeeded him and ruled for ten years; altogether, his reign lasted twenty-four years, with an additional six years thereafter. Following him, Nemi Kṛṣṇa became king and ruled for twenty-five years, after which Hāla took the throne for a full year. In the times that followed, five and then seven powerful kings arose in succession. Among them, Putrikaṣeṇa ruled for twenty-one years. Sātakarṇi then reigned for a year, and Śivasvāmin for twenty-eight years. The noble Gautamīputra, renowned among men, ruled for twenty-one years, followed by Yajñaśrī Sātakarṇi, who held the throne for nineteen years. Vijaya succeeded him, ruling for six years, and his son Daṇḍaśrī Sātakarṇi for three years. Puloma then ruled for seven years, as did others in this line, so that, in all, thirty Andhra kings enjoyed the sovereignty of the earth. The Andhra dynasty endured for four hundred fifty-six years, with their line continuing for another five years. Thereafter, seven Abhīra kings ruled, followed by seven Gardabhinas, and then ten kings of the Śaka lineage. After them came eight Yavana kings, fourteen Tuṣāras, thirteen Maruṇḍas, and eighteen Maunas. The Andhras ruled the earth for two hundred years, while the Śakas enjoyed it for three hundred and eighty years. The Yavanas held sway for eighty years, and the Tuṣāras for five hundred years. Thirteen kings arose, each ruling for one hundred and a quarter years; along with the Maruṇḍas and others of foreign and unrighteous origin, new races came into being. The foreigners enjoyed the land for three hundred years, and eleven of their number held power. After this, during a hidden or obscure period, the Kolikila kings ruled. From the Kolikilas, the Vindhyaśakti dynasty arose, protecting the earth for ninety-six years before coming to an end. After this, new kings and rulers appeared. The son of the last Nāga king was Svarapurañjaya, who became king, a ruler from the Nāga lineage. Sadācandra, descended from the moon, followed as the second, and Nakhavān as well. Dhanadharma was the third, and the fourth was known as Viṃśaja. Then, in the land of the foreigners, Bhūtinanda arose. At the end of the Anga line, Madhunandi became king, and his younger brother, Nandiyaśāḥ, also reigned. In their lineage, three kings arose, and the grandson named Śiśuka became king in Purikā. Pravīra, son of Vindhyaśakti and endowed with great strength, ruled the golden city for sixty years. He performed the Vājapeya sacrifices, offering abundant gifts, and his four sons became rulers among men. After the Vindhya dynasty had passed, three kings of the Bāhlika lineage reigned. Among them, Supratīka and Nabhīra ruled for thirty years. Śakyamā, king of the Māhiṣīs, then ruled, followed by the rise of the Puṣpamitra kings and thirteen Paṭṭamitra rulers. In Mekalā, seven noble kings arose, and in Komalā, the kings were mighty. The Meghas, nine in number and wise, were so named, and all the kings of Naiṣadha perished without remainder. From the lineage of Nala, powerful and mighty kings were born. Among the Magadhas, Viśvasphāni, a king of great strength, arose. Having destroyed all other kings, he established people in different castes: five Kaivartas, Pulindas, and also Brahmins. The kings established themselves in various regions by their prowess, and Viśvasphāni, spirited and mighty as Viṣṇu in battle, became renowned. A king who destroyed the kṣatriya class gave rise to another kṣatriya class, just as the all-pervading serpent is said to do, or as a new work is created anew. Once he had satisfied the gods, ancestors, and brahmins, this powerful one, reaching the bank of the Ganges, abandoned his mortal body. Renouncing his body, he went to the world of Indra. Thereafter, the kings of the Navanāka lineage enjoyed the city of Campāvatī. The seven Nāgas delighted in the city of Mathurā, and the regions along the Ganges—Prayāga, Sāketa, and Magadha—were all enjoyed by the descendants of the Gupta lineage. The Niṣadhas, Yadus, Śaiśis, and Kālatopakās—these regions were enjoyed by those born of the Maṇidhānya lineage. Kośala, Andhra, Pauṇḍra, Tāmralipta with the sea, and the beautiful city of Campā were all enjoyed by those protected by the gods. The Kāliṅgas, Mahiṣas, and those dwelling on Mahendra mountain—these regions were governed by Guha. Kanakāhvaya enjoyed the land of women and those fit to be consumed. Thus, all these kings existed at the same time, each ruling their respective domains as destiny ordained.
