4.16.1
śrīparāśara uvāca
ityeṣa samāsataste yadorvaṃśaḥ kathitaḥ //
PARÁŚARA.--I shall now summarily give you an account of the descendants of Turvasu.
4.16.2
atha durvasorvaśamavadhāraya //
The son of Turvasu was Vahni; his son was Gobánu; his son was Traiśámba; his son was Karandhama; his son was Marutta. Marutta had no children, and he therefore adopted Dushyanta, of the family of Puru; by which the line of Turvasu merged into that of Puru. This took place in consequence of the malediction denounced on his son by Yayáti.
