The genealogies give seven descents from Jahnu to Viśvāmitra, and eight descents from Trasadasyu to Triśaṅku. They thus tally, and Paurukutsī was Purukutsa’s descendant in about the sixth degree. - [Previous: c18.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c18.19) - [Next: c18.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c18.21) - [Up: c18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c18.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c18.20) · Pramāṇa
