The text of the Vishṇu is tat-putrāḥ trayodaśaiva Vālhikāḥ trayaḥ tataḥ Pushyamitra-Padhumitra-Padmamitrās trayo daśa | Mekalāś cha | (Wilson, V.P., 4, 213). It applied the santati originally referring to the Mekalas and the figure daśa of the Traya-Pushyamitra group \[§ 74\] to the kings following Vindhyaśakti and coming before the Mekalās in the text of the Vāyu, i.e., the ‘three’ Vālhikas (i.e., the Vaivāhikas) and the ten Pushyamitras-Padhumitras-Padmamitras. As the number 13 was thus completed, about the Mekalas \[the real descendants\] it said ‘and also the Mekalas’. The Bhāgavata following the Vishṇu was content with 13 sons. It is evident that the Vishṇu found santati after and with the Mekalas. - [Previous: c15.s3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.19) - [Next: c15.s3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.21) - [Up: c15.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3) ## Cites (4) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate) — Sanskrit - [Viṣṇupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c15.s3.20) · Pramāṇa
