DRUHYU. Son of Yayāti, by Sarmishṭhā, daughter of the Daitya king Vrisha-parvan. He refused to exchange his youth for the curse of decrepitude passed upon his father, and in consequence Yayāti cursed him that his posterity should not possess dominion. His father gave him a part of his kingdom, but his descendants became “princes of the lawless barbarians of the north.”
