These were the descendants of Manu’s son Nabhāga, and their genealogy is noticed in twelve Puranas.³ All mention Nabhāga or Nābhāga and his son Ambarīṣa,⁴ and the Brahmāṇḍa, Vāyu, Viṣṇu, Garuḍa and Bhāgavata add the successors, Virūpa, Pṛṣadaśva and Rathitara. Where this dynasty reigned is wholly uncertain. From Rathitara were descended the Rathitaras who were ‘kṣatriyan brahmans’ as will be noticed in chapter XXIII.
