From Mahāvīrya was born a son named Durukṣaya, and Durukṣaya in turn had three sons: Trayyāruṇi, Puṣkariṇa, and Kapi. These three, though born into the kṣatriya lineage, later attained the status of Brāhmaṇas. Meanwhile, Bṛhatkṣatra's son was Suhotra, and from Suhotra came Hasti, a figure of great significance, for he established the city of Hastinapura. Hasti had three sons: Ajamīḍha, Dvijamīḍha, and Purumīḍha. From Ajamīḍha descended Kaṇva, and from Kaṇva came Medhātithi. It was from Medhātithi that the Kaṇvāyana Brāhmaṇas traced their lineage. Ajamīḍha also had another son named Bṛhadiṣu, whose own line continued: Bṛhadiṣu’s son was Bṛhaddhanu; Bṛhaddhanu’s son was Bṛhatkarmā; from Bṛhatkarmā came Jayadratha, and from Jayadratha, Viśvajit. Viśvajit’s son was Senajit. Senajit had four sons: Rucirāśva, Kāśya, Dṛḍhahanus, and Sahanus. Rucirāśva’s son was Pṛthusena, and from Pṛthusena came Pāra. Pāra’s son was Nīla, who was blessed with a hundred sons. Among these, the foremost was Samara, renowned as the lord of Kāmpilya. Samara had three sons: Pārasu, Supāra, and Sadaśva. From Supāra came Pṛthu; from Pṛthu, Sukṛti; from Sukṛti, Vibhrāja; and from Vibhrāja was born Aṇuha. Aṇuha married Kīrtti, the daughter of Śuka, and from their union came Brahyadatta. Brahyadatta’s son was Viṣvaksena, whose son was Udaksena, and Udaksena’s son was Bhallābha. On another branch, Dvijamīḍha had a son called Yavīnarasa. Yavīnarasa’s son was Dhṛtimān; from Dhṛtimān came Satyadhṛti; from Satyadhṛti, Dṛḍhanemi; from Dṛḍhanemi, Supārśva; from Supārśva, Sumati; and from Sumati, Sannatimān. Sannatimān’s son was taught the practice of yoga by the sage Hiraṇyanābha, and he composed the collections of the twenty-four eastern Sāma melodies. From him was born Ugrāyudha, who brought about the destruction of the Nīpa lineage to a great extent. Ugrāyudha’s son was Kṣemya; from Kṣemya came Sudhīra; from Sudhīra, Puṃjaya; and from Puṃjaya, Bahuratha. These are known as the Pauravas. Ajamīḍha’s wife was Nalinī, and in her was born a son named Nīla. From Nīla came Śānti; from Śānti, Suśānti; from Suśānti, Puraṃjaya; and from Puraṃjaya, Ṛkṣa. Ṛkṣa’s son was Haryaśva. From Haryaśva came five sons: Mudgala, Sṛṃjaya, Bṛhadiṣu, Yavīnaraka, and Kāmpilya. For the protection of their domains, their father declared these five to be his sons, the Pāñcālas. From Mudgala, through a woman of the Maudgalya lineage, were born twice-borns, those Brāhmaṇas who were endowed with kṣatriya qualities. From Mudgala also came Haryaśva, and from Haryaśva were born Divodāsa and Ahalyā as a pair. From Śaradvata and Ahalyā was born Śatānanda. Thus, through these generations, the noble lines flourished, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Sanātana Dharma, their names and deeds remembered and revered in the sacred chronicles.
