Vijaya, Madri's son, begot Suhotra; and from Sahadeva and Vaideya, Niramitra and Langali were born.

From Partha and Subhadra was born the charioteer Abhimanyu; and from Abhimanyu and Uttara, daughter of Virata, was born Parikshit.

Parikshit’s heir was the king Janamejaya; he established the Brahmins of the Vajasaneya tradition.

As long as I remain in this world, this will not be praised; and even after I am gone, so it was for Janamejaya.

Janamejaya, the Paurava, son of Parikshit, after performing the horse sacrifice twice, then established the Vajasaneyi tradition, and Janamejaya, with three horse sacrifices, set forth that Brahma.

खर्व्वमश्वकमुख्यानां खर्व्वमङ्गनिवासिनाम्। सर्व्वञ्च मध्यदेशानां त्रिखर्व्वी जनमेजयः । विषादाद्ब्राह्मणैः सार्द्धमभिशस्तः क्षयं ययौ ।। ३७.

Janamejaya, with three horse sacrifices, diminished the chief horses, diminished the women-dwellers, and all the people of the central region; afflicted, he was cursed by the Brahmins and met his end.

His son was Shatanika, powerful and true in valor; then the Brahmins consecrated his son Shatanika.

पुत्रोऽश्वमेध दत्तोऽभूच्छतानीकस्य वीर्य्यवान्। पुत्रोऽश्वमेधदत्ताद्वै जातः परपुरंजयः ।। ३७.

Tell us also what will be established in the future, and the kings who will arise; speak their names as well, even those who will come after many years.
