From him arose Dama, and Dama’s son was born as Rājavardhana. Rājavardhana’s lineage continued with Suvṛddhi, and from Suvṛddhi was born Kevala. Kevala’s son was Sudhriti, and from Sudhriti came Candra. Again, Kevala was born in this line, and from him Bandhumat was born. Bandhumat’s son was Vegavat, and Vegavat’s son was Budha. Then, Trinabindu was born. Trinabindu had a single daughter named Ilavila. In time, the distinguished Apsaras Alambusa united with Trinabindu, and from her was born Vishala, who built the city of Vishala. Vishala’s son was Hemachandra, and then Chandra followed in this line. Chandra’s son was Dhumraksha, whose son was Srnjaya. From Srnjaya was born Sahadeva, and Sahadeva’s son was Krishashva. From Krishashva came Somadatta, famed for performing a hundred Ashvamedha sacrifices. Somadatta’s son was Janamejaya, and from Janamejaya was born Sumati. These are the kings of Vaiśālī. A verse is sung to honor them, declaring that by the favor of Trinabindu, all the kings of Vaiśālī were long-lived, great-souled, powerful, and exceedingly righteous. Śaryāti had a daughter named Sukanyā, whom Cyavana married. Śaryāti’s son was Ānarta, supremely righteous. Ānarta’s son was Revata, who ruled the land of Ānarta and resided in the city of Kuśasthalī. Revata’s son was Raivata, also called Kakudmin, the eldest among a hundred brothers and righteous in soul. Raivata had a daughter named Revatī. Taking his daughter, Raivata journeyed to the world of Brahmā to ask the blessed Lotus-born deity which suitor would be worthy of her. While he was there, the Gandharvas Hāhā and Hūhū sang a divine song called Atitāna in Brahmā’s presence. Though many ages passed as the song was sung and the three cosmic paths revolved, Raivata, listening, felt it lasted only a moment. When the song ended, Raivata bowed to the blessed Lotus-born and asked for a suitable husband for his daughter. The blessed one replied, “Tell me which suitor you desire.” Bowing again, Raivata named the suitors he considered worthy and asked, “Which of these, O blessed one, do you approve, to whom I should give this daughter?” The blessed Lotus-born, head slightly bowed and smiling, spoke gently, “Those whom you desire—none of them now have descendants of sons or grandsons remaining on earth. While you were here listening to the Gandharva song, many ages have already passed.
