somakasya suto jantur hate tasmiñchataṃ babhau
putrāṇāmajamīḍhasya somakasya mahātmanaḥ //
Chaidyavara became the father of the learned Sudâsa, who begot Ajamîḍha the second, the father of Somaka, who begot Jantu. From him, a hundred sons were born in the line of Ajamîḍha and Somaka. When Somaka was killed, then Dhûminî, the wife of Ajamîḍha, practised most trying and rigid penances on the loss of her promising son. She went to sleep, after duly performing Agnihotra and finishing her meals.—15-18.
