Vaiśaṃpāyana said: / Nahuṣa's heirs, six in number, equal in splendor to Indra, / Yati, Yayāti, Saṃyāti, Āyāti, Yāti, and Uddhava, / of great splendor, were born to the daughter of the ancestors, Virajā. / These six were Nahuṣa's, like the senses of an embodied soul; / Suyāti was the sixth among them, and Yayāti became the king. / Yati was the eldest among them, and Yayāti after him.
