The glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa — Chapter 141.
Hari said:
Śatānīka, Aśvamedhadatta, and also Adhisomaka, / Kṛṣṇa, Aniruddha, and Uṣṇa; from him king Citraratha.

1.141.2

Śucidratha, Vṛṣṇimat, Suṣeṇa, and Sunīthaka, / Nṛcakṣus, Sukhābāṇa, Medhāvin, and Nṛpañjaya,

1.141.3

Pāriplava, O sages, Medhāvin, and Nṛpañjaya, / Bṛhadratha, Hari, Tigma, Śatānīka, Sudānaka,

1.141.4

Udāna, Ahīnara, Daṇḍapāṇi, Nimittaka, / and then Kṣemaka; after that a śūdra; previously the father, then the son.

1.141.5

They declare the kings born of the Ikṣvāku dynasty from Bṛhadbala: / from Bṛhadbala, Urukṣaya; after him, Vatsavyūha.

1.141.6

From Vatsavyūha came Sūrya, and Sahadeva was his son; / Bṛhadaśva, Bhānuratha, Pratīcya, and Pratītaka; / Manudeva, Sunakṣatra, Kinnara, and Antarikṣaka;

1.141.7

Suparṇa, Kṛtajit, the righteous Bṛhadbhrāja, / Kṛtañjaya, Dhanañjaya, Saṃjaya, and Śākya;

1.141.8

Śuddhodana, Bāhula, Senajit, and Kṣudraka; / Sumitra, and then Kuḍava. From Sumitra, hear of the kings of Magadha:

1.141.9

Jarāsandha, Sahadeva, Somāpi, and Śrutaśravas; / Ayutāyus, Niramitra, Sukṣatra, and Bahukarmaka;

1.141.10

Śrutañjaya, Senajit, Bhūri, Śuci, / Kṣemya, Suvrata, Dharma, Śmaśrula, and Dṛḍhasenaka;

1.141.11

Sumati, Subala, Nīta, Satyajit, Viśvajit, / and Iṣuñjaya—these are recorded as the Bārhadratha kings.

1.141.12

Thereafter there shall be unrighteous kings, and Śūdras. / For the Lord, the imperishable Nārāyaṇa himself, is the creator of heaven and the rest.

1.141.13

The dissolution is of three kinds: occasional, natural, and absolute. / Earth dissolves into water, water into fire, fire

1.141.14

into air, air into the ether, and the ether dissolves into ego; / ego into intellect, intellect into the individual soul, the individual soul into the unmanifest, and that into the Self;

1.141.15

the Self is the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu, the one Nārāyaṇa, the Person, / imperishable, while all the rest—the world, heaven, and so forth—is perishable.

1.141.16

Kings and the rest have perished; therefore one should abandon sin. / One should practice enduring dharma, by which, shedding sin, one may go to Hari.

Thus ends the one hundred and forty-first chapter, named “The Vision of the Future Royal Dynasties,” in the section on conduct, known as the first part in the first section of the glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa.
