Another version⁴ amplifies what the genealogies say with some mistaken embellishments, as that Lavaṇa was son, instead of descendant, of Madhu, and that Madhuvana was in Ayodhyā territory, whereas South Pañcāla separated them. The Rāmāyaṇa gives a third version, similar but largely amplified and brahmanized with various mistakes.¹ Mathurā was the capital of the Śūrasena country; the country appears to have obtained its name from Śatrughna's son Śūrasena,² and Andhaka's descendants reigned there down to Ugrasena and Kaṃsa; so the second version says.
