tathā druhyumanuṃ pūruṃ śarmiṣṭhājanayatsutān

Yayâti had five sons; Yadu and Turvasu from Devayânî; and three sons Druhya, Anu and Puru from Śarmiṣṭhâ. Of them Yadu and Puru were the promoters of the dynasty. King Yayâti was the protector of the realm with truth and heroism and was also the performer of many sacrifices. He was a great lover of sacrifices and worshipped the Piṭris with great devotion. He won over his subjects and protected them dutifully.—53-56.
