Hearing the circumstances and seeing the maiden before him, King Jyāmagha resolved, “Therefore, I shall marry her.” With this decision, he placed the maiden upon his chariot and brought her to his own abode. When they arrived, with the consent of Queen Śaivyā, Jyāmagha took the maiden as his wife. Once again, he seated her upon the chariot and journeyed to his own city. As the victorious king approached the palace gates, he was accompanied by a great assembly—citizens, relatives, his army, and ministers. There, Queen Śaivyā came out to meet him. She noticed a maiden standing at the king’s left side, her lips trembling ever so slightly, betraying the stirrings of indignation. With a questioning gaze, Śaivyā addressed the king, “Who is this girl, so fickle-minded, seated here in the chariot?” The king, apprehensive of further questioning and without considering his words, hastily replied, “She is my daughter-in-law.” Śaivyā, not satisfied, said, “I have not borne a son for you, nor have you taken another wife. By which son of yours does this woman have the relation of daughter-in-law?” Sage Parāśara narrates that, thus pressed and fearing Śaivyā’s anger, Jyāmagha, his discernment clouded, sought to avoid harsh words and answered, “She is appointed as the wife of that son of yours who is yet to be born.” Hearing this, Śaivyā smiled gently and said, “So be it.” Together, she and the king entered the palace. Soon after, through the auspiciousness of the moment and the pure conjunction of time, Śaivyā conceived, and in due course she gave birth to a son. The king named the boy Vidarbha. When Vidarbha came of age, he married the maiden who had been brought as his bride. From this union, two sons were born—Kratha and Kaishika. In time, the maiden bore a third son, Romapada, who would become renowned for the knowledge he received from the sage Nārada. Romapada’s lineage continued: his son was Babhru, whose son was Dhriti; from Dhriti came Kaishika, and from Kaishika, Cedi was born. The kings of Cedi descended from him. Kratha’s son, through his daughter-in-law, was Kunti, and from Kunti came Dhrishti; from Dhrishti, Nidhriti; then Dasharha; then Vyoma; then Jimuta; then Vikriti; then Bhibharatha; from him, Navaratha; then Dasharatha; then Shakuni; his son was Karambhi; and from Karambhi, Devarata was born. Devarata’s son was Devakshatra; from him came Madhu; from Madhu, the Kumaravamsa; from the Kumaravamsa, Anu; from Anu, Purumitra, lord of the earth. From Purumitra came Amshu, and from Amshu, Satvata. From Satvata, the great Satvata clan arose. Thus, O Maitreya, whoever listens with faith and devotion to this lineage of Jyāmagha is freed from his own sins. Sage Parāśara continued: Satvata had sons—Bhajina, Bhajamana, Divya, Andhaka, Devavridha, Mahābhoja, and Vṛṣṇi—these were known as the Satvatas. Bhajamana had three sons: Nimi, Krikaṇa, and Vṛṣṇi; and others, born of two mothers, named Śatajita, Sahasrajit, and Ayutajit. Devavridha had a son named Babhru. Of these two, Babhru and Devavridha, a verse is recited: “Just as we hear from afar and see from near, so Babhru was the best among men, and Devavridha was equal to the gods.” From Babhru and Devavridha, sixty-six thousand and eight men, having attained immortality, descended. Mahābhoja was exceedingly righteous; from him came the Bhojas, known as the Martikavaras, who resided in the city of Martikavara. Vṛṣṇi had two sons: Sumitra and Yudhajit. Then came Anamitra; from Anamitra, Nighna was born. Nighna had two sons: Prasena and Satrajit. To Satrajit, the blessed Sun god became a friend. Once, while staying on the shore of the ocean, Satrajit, with concentrated mind, praised the Sun. The radiant deity, pleased by his devotion, appeared before him. However, seeing the Sun in a form not clearly manifest, Satrajit spoke, “Just as I saw you in the sky, resembling a mass of fire, so now, though you have come before me, O Lord, I do not perceive any special favor.” Hearing this, the Sun god removed from his own neck the great and excellent jewel called Syamantaka and placed it aside in a secluded spot. Thus unfolds the lineage, deeds, and blessings of Jyāmagha and his descendants, a tale that brings merit to all who hear it with faith.
