Vayu Purana

तस्माद्दिव्यो भरद्वाजो ब्राह्मण्यात् क्षत्रियोऽभवत्। द्विमुख्यायननामा स स्मृतो द्विपितृकस्तु वै ।। ३७.

Thus, Bharadvāja, though a Brahmin by birth, became a Kshatriya; he is remembered as Dvimukhyāyana, the one with two fathers.

ततोऽथ वितथे जाते भरतः स दिवं ययौ। वितथस्य तु दायादो भुवमन्युर्बभूव ह ।। ३७.

Then, when Vitatha was born, Bharata went to heaven; Vitatha's heir on earth was Bhuvamanyu.

महाभूतोपमाश्चासंश्चत्वारो भुवमन्युजाः। बृहत्क्षत्रो महावीर्यो नरो गाग्रश्च वीर्यवान् ।। ३७.

The four sons of Bhuvamanyu were like great elements: Bṛhatkṣatra, mighty in valor, Nara, and Gāgra, strong in might.

नरस्य सांकृतिः पुत्रस्तस्य पुत्रौ महौजसौ। गुरुवीर्यस्त्रिदेवश्च सांकृत्याववरौ स्मृतौ ।। ३७.

Nara's son was Saṃkṛti; his two powerful sons were Guruvīrya and Trideva, known as the Saṃkṛtis.

दायादाश्चापि गाग्रस्य शिनिबद्धात् बभूव ह। स्मृताश्चैते ततो गाग्र्याः क्षात्रोपेता द्विजातयः ।। ३७.

The heirs of Gāgra were born from Śinibaddha; these are remembered as the Gāgryas, twice-born Kshatriyas.

महावीर्यसुतश्चापि भीमस्तस्मादुभक्षयः। तस्य भार्या विशाला तु सुषुवे वै सुतांस्त्रयः ।। ३७.

And Bhima, the son of great valor, was therefore a devourer; his wife Vishala indeed bore him three sons.

त्रय्यारुणिं पुष्करिणं तृतीयं सुषुवे कपिम्। कपेः क्षत्रवरा ह्येते तयोः प्रोक्ता महर्षयः ।। ३७.

She bore Trayyaruni, Pushkarini, and the third, a monkey; these two are renowned as great sages, and the monkey is of noble warrior lineage.

गाग्राः सांकृतयो वीर्याः क्षात्रोपेता द्विजातयः। संश्रिताङ्गिरसं पक्षं बृहत्क्षत्रस्य वक्ष्यति ।। ३७.

The Gagras, Sankritas, and Viryas are twice-born, endowed with warrior qualities; they have taken refuge in the Angirasa branch, which will be spoken of as belonging to Brihatkshatra.

बृहत्क्षत्रस्य दायादः सुहोत्रो नाम धार्मिकः। सुहोत्रस्यापि दायादो हस्ती नाम बभूव ह। तेनेदं निर्मितं पूर्वं नाम्ना वै हास्तिनं पुरम् ।। ३७.

The heir of Brihatkshatra was named Suhotra, righteous in conduct; and Suhotra's heir was Hastin, by whom this city was formerly established and named Hastinapura.

हस्तिनश्चापि दायादास्त्रयः परमधार्मिकाः। अजमीढो द्विमीढश्च पुरुमीढस्तथैव च ।। ३७.

Hastin had three heirs, all supremely righteous: Ajamidha, Dvimidha, and Purumidha.

अजमीढस्य पुत्रास्तु शभाः शुभकुलोद्वहाः। तपसोऽन्ते सुमहतो राज्ञो वृद्धस्य धार्मिकाः ।। ३७.

The sons of Ajamidha were Shabha, illustrious upholders of a noble lineage; at the end of great austerity, they were righteous kings.

भरद्वाजप्रसादेन श्रृणुध्वं तस्य विस्तरम्। अज मीढस्य केशिन्यां कण्ठः समभवत्किल ।। ३७.

By the grace of Bharadvaja, listen to their lineage in detail: In Kesini, Ajamidha begot Kantha.

मेधातिथिः सुतस्तस्य तस्मात् कण्ठायना द्विजाः। अजमीढस्य धूमिन्यां जज्ञे बृहद्वसुर्नृपः ।। ३७.

His son was Medhatithi; from him came the Kanthayana Brahmins. In Dhūmini, Ajamidha begot King Brihadvasu.

बृहद्वसोर्बृहद्विष्णुः पुत्रस्तस्य महाबलः। बृहत्कर्मा सुतस्तस्य पुत्रस्तस्य बृहद्रथः ।। ३७.

Brihadvasu's son was Brihadvishnu, of great strength; his son was Brihatkarma, and Brihadratha was his son.

विश्वजित्तनयस्तस्य सेनजित्तस्य चात्मजः। अथ सेनजितः पुत्राश्चत्वारो लोकविश्रुताः ।। ३७.

His son was Vishvajit, and Senajit was his son; then Senajit had four sons, renowned throughout the world.

रुचिराश्वश्च काव्यश्च रामो दृढधनुस्तथा। वत्सश्चावन्तको राजा यस्य ते परिवत्सराः ।। ३७.

Rucirashva, Kavya, Rama of firm bow, and Vatsa, King Avantaka; these are called the Parivatsaras.

रुचिराश्वस्य दायादः पृथुषेणो महायशाः। पृथुषेणस्य पारस्तु पारान्नीपोऽथ जज्ञिवान् ।। ३७.

Rucirashva's heir was Prithushena, of great fame; Prithushena's son was Para, and from Para was born Nipa.

यस्य चैकशतञ्चासीत् पुत्राणामिति नः श्रुतम्। नीपा इति समाख्याता राजानः सर्व एव ते ।। ३७.

It is heard that he had one hundred sons; all those kings were known as the Nipas.

तेषां वंशकरः श्रीमान् राजासीत्कीर्त्तिवर्द्धनः। काम्पिल्ये समरो नाम स चेष्टसमरोऽभवत् ।। ३७.

Among them, the illustrious king who founded the lineage was Kirtivardhana; in Kampilya, there was a king named Samara, who became known as Cheshta Samara.

समरस्य परः पारः सत्वदश्च इति त्रयः। पुत्राः सर्वगुणोपेताः पारपुत्रो वृषुर्बभौ ।। ३७.

Samara's sons were Para, Satvada, and another, three in all, endowed with every virtue; Para's son was Vrisha.

वृषोस्तु सुकृतिर्नाम सुकृतेनेह कर्मणा। जज्ञे सर्वगुणोपेतो विब्राजस्तस्य चात्मजः ।। ३७.

Vrisha's son was Sukriti, who, by virtuous deeds, begot Vibraja, endowed with all qualities.

विभ्राजस्य तु दायादस्त्वणुहो नाम पार्थिवः। बभूव शुकजामाता ऋचीभर्त्ता महायशाः ।। ३७.

Vibraja's heir was Anuha, a king; he became the son-in-law of Shuka and the father of Rishi, of great fame.

अणुहस्य तु दायादो ब्रह्मदत्तो महातपाः। योगसूनुः सुतस्तस्य विष्वक्सेनोऽभवनृपः ।। ३७.

Anuha's heir was Brahmadatta, of great austerity; his son was Yogasunu, and Vishvaksena became king.

विब्राजपुत्रा राजानः कुकृतेनेह कर्म्मणा। विष्वक्सेनस्य पुत्रस्तु उदक्सेनो बभूव ह ।। ३७.

The radiant sons became kings here through wrongful deeds; and Viṣvaksena's son was indeed named Udaksena.

भल्लाटस्तस्य दायादो येन राजा पुराहतः। भल्लाटस्य तु दायादो राजासीज्जनमेजयः। उग्रायुधेन तस्यार्थे सर्वे नीपाः प्रणाशिताः ।। ३७.

Bhallāta was his heir, by whom the king was formerly slain; and Bhallāta's heir was the king Janamejaya. For his sake, by Ugrāyudha, all the kings were destroyed.

उग्रायुधः कस्य सुतः कस्मिन् वंशे च कीर्त्यते। किमर्थञ्चैव नीपास्ते तेन सर्वे प्रणाशिताः ।। ३७.

Of whom was Ugrāyudha the son, and in which lineage is he renowned? And for what reason were all those kings destroyed by him?

द्विमीढस्य तु दायादो विद्वान् जज्ञे यवीनरः। धृतिमांस्तस्य पुत्रस्तु तस्य सत्यधृतिः सुतः ।। ३७.

The learned Yavīnara was the heir of Dvimīḍha; his son was steadfast, and his son was Satyadhṛti.

अथ सत्यधृतेः पुत्रो दृढनेमिः प्रतापवान् । दृढनेमिसुतश्चापि सुवर्मा नाम पार्थिवः ।। ३७.

Then Satyadhṛti's son was the mighty Dṛḍhanemi; and Dṛḍhanemi's son was the king named Suvarmā.

आसीत्सुवर्म्मणः पुत्रः सार्वभौमः प्रतापवान्। सार्वभौम इति ख्यातः पृथिव्यामेकराड्बभौ ।। ३७.

Suvarmā had a son named Sārvabhauma, powerful and renowned; known as Sārvabhauma, he became the sole sovereign of the earth.
