It is stated in the story of Nala that Bhīma, king of Vidarbha, and Vīrabāhu, king of Cedi, were contemporaries,² and the latter’s son Subāhu and Ṛtuparṇa, king of Ayodhyā, were contemporaries.³ This agrees entirely with the genealogies, for they make Bhīmaratha (of which Bhīma there is the shortened form) tenth successor of Vidarbha and Ṛtuparṇa tenth successor of Sagara, the latter being a younger contemporary of the former. - [Previous: c19.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.15) - [Next: c19.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.17) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19) ## Linked texts (5) - [Brahmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahma.8.80) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.53) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vāyupurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.vayu) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Harivaṃśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.harivamsa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c19.16) · Pramāṇa
