kālena ca kumāram ajījanat |
tasya ca vidarbha iti pitā nāma cakre |
sa ca tāṃ snuṣām upayeme ||
In consequence of this conversation regarding the birth of a son having taken place in an auspicious conjunction, aspect, and season, the queen, although passed the time of women, became shortly afterwards pregnant, and bore a son. His father named him Vidarbha, and married him to the damsel he had brought home. They had three sons, Kratha, Kaiśika, and Romapáda. The son of Romapáda was Babhru, and his son was Dhriti. The son of Kaiśika was Chedi, whose descendants were called the Chaidya kings. The son of Kratha was Kunti; his son was Vrishńi; his son was Nirvriti; his son was Dasárha; his son was Vyoman; his son was Jímúta; his son was Vikriti; his son was Bhímaratha; his son was Navaratha; his son was Daśaratha; his son was Śakuni; his son was Karambhi; his son was Devaráta; his son was Devakshatra; his son was Madhu; his son was Anavaratha; his son was Kuruvatsa; his son was Anuratha; his son was Puruhotra; his son was Anśu; his son was Satwata, from whom the princes of this house were termed Sátwatas. This was the progeny of Jyámagha; by listening to the account of whom, a man is purified from his sins.
