c14.s3.79

² Viṣ, Gar and Ag agree with this *résumé*, except that Viṣ and Gar (unless its reading be amended) make Janamejaya’s three sons his brothers. Bhāg says Parikṣit I had no offspring. Ag follows Hv with one or two more mistakes. MBh i, 3, 661-2 and Bhāg ix, 22, 35 confuse this Janamejaya II with the later Parikṣit’s son Janamejaya III, who reigned after the Bhārata battle; and then make the same mistake as Viṣ and Gar. Var 193, 1-5 also confuses them. The Parikṣit who got Vāmadeva’s horses was a different person, a king of Ayodhyā (MBh iii, 192, 13145, 13179 f.), and probably the same as Pāripātra of that line.
