Divodāsa Atithigva was king of North Pañcāla.⁴ His son Indrota, Ṛkṣa’s son, and Aśvamedha’s son Pūtakratu were contemporaries.⁵ Pūtakratu’s son was Dasyave-Vṛka,⁶ a prince who was also a rishi.⁷ Aśvamedha was contemporary with Trasadasyu Paurukutsya, who was apparently a Pūru king,⁸ so Trasadasyu was son of Purukutsa;⁹ and Purukutsa was son of Girikṣit and grandson of Durgaha.¹⁰ Trasadasyu had a son Tṛkṣi.¹¹ Sobhari Kāṇva was contemporary with Trasadasyu.¹² Contemporary with Divodāsa was Prastoka,¹³ who was a Sārñjaya,¹⁴ that is, a descendant (not son) of Sṛñjaya, the brother of Mudgala, who were Bhāratas; contemporary with Prastoka was Abhyāvartin Cāyamāna;¹⁵ and Aśvamedha was a descendant of Bharata.¹⁶ These two princes also probably belonged to the petty kingdoms descended from Mudgala’s brothers. The Ṛkṣa mentioned above was probably the king of Hastināpura, who is called in the genealogies son of Ajamīḍha and father of Saṃvaraṇa, but the table of genealogies shows that there were many generations, and that son means descendant and father means ancestor.
