Yadu is your eldest son, next to him is Turvasu, your third son is Druhya from the Queen Śarmiṣṭhâ, younger to him is Aṇu, whilst Puru is the youngest of all. How then are you making Puru a king, overlooking the claims of his elder brothers? O king! you should not forsake justice.”—15-18. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 34.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.15) - [Next: 34.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.17) - [Up: 34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.34.p6) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.34.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.1.80.13) — Sanskrit - [Liṅgapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.linga.1.66.82) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Liṅgapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.tamil.kappiyam.lingapurana.75.82) — Ativīrarāma Pāṇṭiyar 1500, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.34.16) · Pramāṇa
