c27.s2.20

Pulaha’s fabulous progeny has been noticed (chapter XVI), but the Matsya says (202, 10–11) that Pulaha had three sons (who are not named ¹) and, not being pleased with them, adopted Agastya’s son Dṛḍhāsya (that is, Dṛḍhacyuta, *ante*), and so the Paulahas were Āgastyas. The Padma says (vi, 218, 62–3) that he begot a son Dambholi, who had been Agastya formerly.² No further particulars are given of the Paulahas.
