c14.s3.18

Vṛṣṇi’s offspring begin with that of the eldest son (by Gāndhārī) Sumitra, called Anamitra by the Brahma and Harivaṃśa, down to Satrājit,¹ and Satrājit's children are mentioned separately.² Yudhājit's descendants divided into two families, those of Śvaphalka and Citraka.³ Devamīḍhuṣa's line is given extremely briefly, and some of the authorities wrongly invert him and his son Śūra.⁴ This was the family in which Kṛṣṇa was born.⁵ Vṛṣṇi's youngest son Anamitra had a son Śini, and their descendants were called the Śainyas.⁶ All these are shown in the table opposite.
