kurustu saptamasteṣāṃ bhadrāśvaścāṣṭamaḥ smṛtaḥ /

His father Priyavrata gave Jambudvīpa to Agnīdhra at the first, O brāhman. He had nine sons indeed, who were equal to the Prajāpati Priyavrata. The eldest was named Nābhi; his younger brother was Kimpuruṣa; the third son was Havirvarṣa; the fourth was Ilāvṛta; and the fifth son was Yaśya; the sixth was called Hiraṇya: the seventh of them was Kuru; the eighth was known as Bhadrāśva; and the ninth was Ketumāla. Designated by their names was the arrangement of their countries.
