² Vindhyakānāṁ kulānāṁ te nṛipā vaivāhikās trayaḥ (Br.). Vaivāhikāḥ here has been misread in the text of the other Purāṇas as vaivālhikāḥ and vai vāhikāḥ. The mistake is curious, but easily understandable. Vaivāhikāḥ was read as two words, vai and vāhikā, and vāhikāḥ was sanskritized into Vālhikāḥ and Bālhikāḥ!
