Rukmakavaca, a noble king, was succeeded by his son Parāvṛt. Parāvṛt was blessed with five sons: Rukmeṣu, Pṛthujyāma, Aghavālita, Harita, and one more whose name is not mentioned here. Even today, people sing the ancient verse about the extraordinary king Jyāmagha. Among all men who have had wives—whether their wives are living or departed—Jyāmagha is celebrated as the best, the beloved husband of Queen Śaivyā. Yet, despite his longing for children, his wife Śaivyā remained childless. Out of respect and perhaps a touch of fear, Jyāmagha did not take another wife, though he yearned for offspring. One day, Jyāmagha found himself in the midst of a fierce and tumultuous battle, where chariots, horses, and elephants clashed in great numbers. He fought valiantly and triumphed over all his enemies. Those vanquished foes, abandoning their sons, wives, kin, armies, and treasures, fled in all directions from their homeland. As the defeated fled, Jyāmagha saw a royal maiden, her wide eyes trembling with fear, her voice raised in desperate cries for her father, mother, and brother to save her. Moved deeply by her plight, Jyāmagha’s heart filled with affection. He thought to himself, “I am childless, and my wife is barren; perhaps destiny has brought this precious maiden to me as the means for an heir.” He resolved, “Therefore, I shall marry her.” Placing the frightened maiden upon his chariot, Jyāmagha brought her to his own home. With the consent of Queen Śaivyā, he married the maiden. Then, with both queens, he returned in triumph to his city. The victorious king, surrounded by his citizens, relatives, army, and ministers, was met at the palace gates by Queen Śaivyā, who had come to greet him. But as Shaivya saw the maiden standing at Jyāmagha’s left side, her lips trembling with suppressed anger and jealousy, she asked the king, “Who is this fickle-minded girl seated here in the chariot?” Afraid of further questioning and not thinking his answer through, Jyāmagha hastily replied, “She is my daughter-in-law.” Shaivya, sharp and clear, retorted, “I have not borne you a son, nor have you taken another wife. By what son of yours is this woman your daughter-in-law?” Thus questioned, Jyāmagha, his discernment clouded by fear and wishing to avoid harsh words, answered, “She is appointed as the wife of that son of yours who is yet to be born.” Hearing this, Shaivya smiled gently and said, “So be it.” She then entered the palace with the king. Soon after, by the auspicious alignment of time and destiny, Shaivya conceived. In due course, she gave birth to a son, whom Jyāmagha named Vidarbha. Vidarbha married the maiden who had once been called his “daughter-in-law.” From their union were born two sons, Kratha and Kaishika. Later, the queen bore a third son, Romapada, who became renowned for the knowledge he gained from the sage Narada. Romapada’s lineage continued: his son was Babhru, followed by Dhriti, then Kaishika, and then Cedi, from whom the kings of the Cedi dynasty descended. Kratha’s son, through his daughter-in-law, was Kunti. Kunti’s line continued with Dhrishti, then Nidhriti, Dasharha, Vyoma, Jimuta, Vikriti, Bhibharatha, Navaratha, Dasharatha, Shakuni, Karambhi, and Devarata. From Devarata came Devakshatra, then Madhu, followed by the Kumaravamsa, and then Anu. Anu’s son was Purumitra, lord of the earth, whose son was Amshu, and then Satvata. From Satvata came those known as the Satvatas. O Maitreya, whoever listens with faith and devotion to the lineage of Jyāmagha is freed from their own sins. Śrī Parāśara continued: Satvata had several illustrious sons—Bhajina, Bhajamana, Divya, Andhaka, Devavṛidha, Mahābhoja, and Vṛishni—who were all known as the Satvatas. Bhajamana’s sons were Nimi, Krikaṇa, and Vṛṣṇi. He also had three sons by two mothers: Śatajita, Sahasrajit, and Ayutajit. Devavṛidha had a son named Babhru. Regarding these two, a special verse is recited, honoring their legacy. And thus the noble lineage continued, shining brightly through the ages.
