THE sons of Satwata were Bhajina, Bhajamána, Divya, Andhaka, Devávriddha, Mahábhoja, and Vrishńi. Bhajamána had three sons, Nimi, Krikańa, and Vrishńi, by one wife, and as many by another, Śatajit, Sahasrajit, and Ayutajit. The son of Devávriddha was Babhru of whom this verse is recited; "We hear when afar, and we behold when nigh, that Babhru is the first of men, and Devávriddha is equal to the gods: sixty-six persons following the precepts of one, and six thousand and eight who were disciples of the other, obtained immortality." Mahábhoja was a pious prince; his descendants were the Bhojas, the princes of Mrittikávatí, thence called Márttikávatas. Vrishńi had two sons, Sumitra and Yudhájit; from the former Anamitra and Śini were born. The son of Anamitra was Nighna, who had two sons, Prasena and Satrájit. The divine Áditya, the sun, was the friend of the latter.
