Mudgalapurana 3.38: harivaṃśavarṇanaṃ nāmāṣṭatriṃśo'dhyāyaḥ

Homage to glorious Gaṇeśa.

Mudgala said: / A hundred were the sons of Kārtavīrya, great car-warriors there; / only five were mighty, heroic, righteous-minded, and illustrious:

Jayadhvaja, Śūrasena, Vṛṣabha, and also Puru and Urjit. / Among them, Jayadhvaja was the principal king, O lord of creatures.

Jayadhvaja's son was the valiant Tālajaṅgha. / A hundred sons were born to him, known as the Tālajaṅghas.

The eldest among them was the mighty-armed king Vītihotra; / and Vṛṣa and the others were Yādavas of meritorious deeds.

Vṛṣa was a founder of a lineage, and his son was Madhu; / a hundred sons were born to Madhu; Vṛṣṇi was the eldest, the maker of the lineage.

And the son of Vītihotra was the renowned Ananta; / Durjaya was his son, learned in all the śāstras.

His wife was endowed with good qualities, devoted to her husband. / But the king went into the forest, and there indeed he saw Urvaśī.

Attached to her, lustful himself, he did not remember his own wife. / When much time had passed, awakened [to duty] by Kaṇva, he went

back to his own home indeed, and performed expiation. / Kaṇva officiated at sacrifices for him, and he became truly humble.

His son was celebrated as Supratīka. / All this born in the lineage of Sahasrajit has been told to you.

Now hear the lineage of Kroṣṭu, the son of Yadu, O lord of creatures: / of Kroṣṭu, one famed son was Vṛjinavat.

His son was Śāhi; Kuśeku is regarded as his son; / and Kuśeku had a mighty son named Citraratha.

Citraratha had a son, and from him Śaśabindu was born; / [he had] one million [sons], among whom the eldest was Pṛthuśravas.

Uśanas was his son; he is said to be righteousness itself; / from him came one named Rucaka; from him five sons are acknowledged.

Among them, the continuation of the line is declared to be Jyāmagha, world-renowned; / from him Vidarbha was the son, and from Vidarbha came Kuśa and Kratha.

Lomapāda was the third, and Babhru was his son; / (

Section 3, Chapter 38, page 85) Kṛti is declared to be his son, and Uśika was his son.

From Uśika a son was born, Cedi, and from him Caidya came to be; / his son, mighty-armed, on account of his power was known as Kauśika.

His son was the wise Sumantu, and from him was Amala; / the son of Amala is declared to be Niḥśveta, of great strength.

His sons, O Dakṣa, were a hundred, indeed very mighty. / From Kratha, too, came Kunti; his [son was] Dhṛṣṭi, and then Nirvṛti.

His [son was] Daśārha; from him Vyoma; from him Jīmūtaka; / Vikṛti was his son; Bhīmaratha was of great strength.

From him came one named Navaratha, also of great strength; / his son was Daśaratha, and Śakuni was his son.

From him Karambhi was born; Devarāta came from him; / he sacrificed with the horse sacrifice, and Devakṣatra was his son.

Madhu was born as his son; from him Kuru was born; / he had two sons: Sutrāman and Anu.

Of Anu, Puruhotra came to be; Āyus is considered his son; / from Āyus came the one named Sāttvata; seven sons of his are recognised:

Bhajamāna, Bhaji, Divya, Vṛṣṇi, Devavṛdha, Andhaka, / and Mahābhoja, famous among the Yādavas, O lord of creatures.

Of Bhajamāna [the sons were] Nimloci, Kiṅkaṇa, and Vṛṣṇi; / then King Devavṛdha practiced austerities for the sake of a son.

Babhru was his son, of holy fame, highly celebrated, / knowing the truth of the meaning of all śāstras, concerning whom there were two verses:

"The king shone through the three worlds with his fame and splendor." / Those born in the family of Mahābhoja are indeed celebrated as the Bhojas.

Of Vṛṣṇi, Sumitra was a son, and another was Yudhājit, / Anamitra, and Śini; from Anamitra came Nimna.

Satrājit and Prasena were known as the sons born of Nimna; / Satrājit, having propitiated Sūrya, obtained the Syamantaka jewel.

From Śini was born a son skilled in every purpose: / Satyaka, endowed with truth, named Satya, of great renown.

He was Sātyaki Yuyudhāna; Jaya was his son; / and Kuṇi was the wise son, and his son was Yugandhara.

The other son of Anamitra was Vṛṣṇi, skilled in weapons; / Śvaphalka was a son of Vṛṣṇi, and another was Citraratha.

Śvaphalka took as wife the daughter of the king of Kāśi; / upon her he fathered a son, Akrūra, approved by the virtuous.

Āsaṅga, Sārameya, and others were his twelve other sons; / Akrūra's sons were Devavat and Upadevaka.

From Citraratha came the son Pṛthu, and indeed Apṛthu; / Aśvagrīva, Subāhu, Sudhāśva, and others are recorded as sons.

Then mighty-armed Andhaka obtained four sons: / Kukura, Bhajamāna, Śuci, and Kambalabarhis.

The son of Kukura was Vahni; Vahni's son was / Kapotaroman, O Dakṣa; Anu was his son thereafter.

He became a friend of Tumburu; his son is recorded as Andhaka; / from Andhaka came a son endowed with radiance, Dundubhi.

Having approached Govardhana, he performed severe austerity; / and Brahmā granted him a boon desired in his mind:

"Your lineage shall be imperishable; [you shall have] renown, knowledge, and fame; / (

Section 3, Chapter 39, page 86) friendship ever surpassing with the gods, and the power to take any form at will."

His son was Aridyota, full of splendor, and Dundubhi's [son] / was Punarvasu; his son is recorded as Āhuka.

From Āhuka [came] Ugrasena and Devaka, O lord of creatures; / Devaka's heroic sons were born like gods:

Devavān, Upadeva, Sudeva, and Devavardhana. / They had seven sisters; he gave them to Vasudeva:

Dhṛtadevā, and likewise Upadevā, Devasākṣitā, / Śrīdevā, Śāntidevā, Sahadevā, and Suvratā.

He gave Devakī [and] all of them to Vasudeva, O lord of creatures. / And Ugrasena's sons were very mighty, chief of whom was Kaṃsa.

From Bhajamāna came the illustrious son Vidūratha; / his [son] was Śūra, his was Śini, and Svayambhoja was his son.

From him [came] Hṛdika, then Dehabāhu, then Śatadhanus, / then Kṛtavarman, then Devamīḍha, then Śūraka.

Vasudeva and the others, O Dakṣa, were ten, devoted to dharma. / From Vasudeva [came] the glorious Vāsudeva, the teacher of the universe,

Hari, who attained the state of Devakī's son, entreated by the gods / to descend and relieve the earth's burden, and to protect the virtuous.

And the fortunate Rohiṇī bore from Vasudeva / Saṅkarṣaṇa, the eldest, who was a portion of Śeṣa and armed with a plow.

Umā assumed bodily form, born as Yoganidrā and Kauśikī; / by Vāsudeva's command, she became Yaśodā's daughter.

And the other sons of Vasudeva, elder brothers of Vāsudeva, / were all slain earlier by Kaṃsa at the very moment of their birth:

Suṣeṇa, and then Dāyin, the mighty Bhadrasena, / Ṛtu, Sammardana, Bhadra, and the one named Kīrtimān.

When all these had been slain, Rohiṇī brought forth from Vasudeva / that lord of the world, Balabhadra, armed with a plow.

And when Rāma was born, Devakī gave birth to Acyuta, the original self of the gods, / Kṛṣṇa, whose chest is marked with the Śrīvatsa.

Om tat sat. Thus ends the thirty-eighth chapter, entitled "The Description of the Lineage of Hari," in the Mahodaracarita in the third section of the glorious and final Purāṇopaniṣad, the glorious Maudgala Mahāpurāṇa.
