¹ The genealogy of Ekavīra is stated differently in different Purāṇas. Devī Bhāgavata states that Ekavīra is the son of Turvasu, son of Yayāti and that he is the father of Kārtavīryārjuna. It is not correct. The genealogy chronicled here is based on Agni and Viṣṇu Purāṇas. According to that Yadu, son of Yayāti is the father of the grandfather of Ekavīra: Yadu—Sahasrajit—Satajit—Hehaya (Ekavīra). Descending from Ekavīra—Dharma—Kuṇi—Bhadrasena—Dhanaka—Kṛtavīra—Kārtavīryārjuna. From the grandson of Kārtavīryārjuna, Vṛṣṇi, starts the Vṛṣṇi dynasty.
