vṛjinīvataśca putro 'bhūt svāho nāma mahābalaḥ
svāhaputro 'bhavad rājan ruṣaṅgur vadatāṃ varaḥ //

It was in the family of this very King Kroṣṭu that the God Viṣṇu incarnated Himself as Kṛiṣṇa, who afterwards promoted the Vriṣṇi clan, which I am going to relate to you in due order. Kroṣṭu begot Vrijinîvâna, and the latter became the father of the powerful Svâhâ, and Ruṣaṅgu was the son of Svâhâ.—15-16.
