4.16.1
parāśara uvāca:
ity eṣa samāsatas te kathito yador vaṃśaḥ |
turvasor vaṃśam avadhāraya ||
PARÁŚARA.--I shall now summarily give you an account of the descendants of Turvasu.
4.16.2
turvasor vahnir ātmajo vahner gobhānus tataś ca traiśānus tasmāc ca karaṃdhamaḥ |
tasyāpi maruttaḥ |
so 'napatyo 'bhavat |
tataś ca pauravaṃ duṣyantaṃ putram akalpayat |
evaṃ yayātiśāpāt tadvaṃśaḥ pauravam vaṃśaṃ samāśritavān ||
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.
4.16.2.p1
