4.20.4

ṛkṣād bhīmasenas tataś ca dilīpaḥ |
dilīpāt pratīpaḥ |
tasyāpi devāpiśāṃtanubāhlīkasaṃjñās trayaḥ putrā babhūvuḥ |
devāpir bāla evāraṇyaṃ viveśa ||

PARÍKSHIT, the son of Kuru, had four sons, Janamejaya, Śrutasena, Ugrasena, and Bhímasena. The son of Jahnu was Suratha; his son was Vidúratha; his son was Sárvabhauma; his son was Jayasena Árávin; his son was Ayutáyus; his son was Akrodhana; one of his sons was Devatithi, and another was called Riksha; his son was Dilípa; his son was Pratípa, who had three sons, Devápi, Śántanu, and Báhlíka. The first adopted in childhood a forest life, and Śántanu became king. Of him this verse is spread through the earth; "Śántanu is his name, because if he lays his hands upon an old man, he restores him to youth, and by him men obtain tranquillity (śánti)."
