ĀHUKA. A king of Yadu Vamśa. He was the father of Ugrasena, the father of Kaṁsa. (Some Purāṇas say that Āhuka and Ugrasena were the names of the same person). For genealogy, see “YADU VAMŚA”. In M.B., Sabhā Parva, Chapter 14, Verse 33, we find that Akrūra had married Sutanū, the daughter of Āhuka. Āhuka had a hundred sons. (M.B., Sabhā Parva, Chapter 14, Verse 56). There were constant quarrels between Āhuka and Akrūra. (M.B., Śānti Parva, Chapter 81, Verses 8-11).
