2.1.5

parāśara uvāca:
kardamasyātmajāṃ kanyām upayeme priyavrataḥ
samrāṭ kukṣiś ca tatkanye daśaputrās tathāpare //

PARÁŚARA.--Priyavrata married Kámyá, the daughter of the patriarch Kardama, and had by her two daughters, Samrát and Kukshi, and ten sons, wise, valiant, modest, and dutiful, named Agnídhra, Agnibáhu, Vapushmat, Dyutimat, Medha, Medhatithi, Bhavya, Savala, Putra, and the tenth was Jyotishmat, illustrious by nature as by name. These were the sons of Priyavrata, famous for strength and prowess. Of these, three, or Medha, Putra, and Agnibáhu, adopted a religious life: remembering the occurrences of a prior existence, they did not covet dominion, but diligently practised the rites of devotion in due season, wholly disinterested, and looking for no reward.
