6. Udgitha was born of Bhuman by Rishikulya: on Devakulya Udgitha begot Prasthava. Prasthava had a son called Vibhu by Niyutsa. Vibhu begot Prithushena on Rati, and he had Naktha by Akuthi. Druti bore to Naktha a son called Gaya who was a great saintly king of vast learning, imbued with an Amsa of the glorious Vishnu who appears in satva form for the protection of the world; and he (Gaya) became a great and glorious person as possessed of self-control and other characteristics (of the great).
