brahmanas. The son of Mahavirya was Duritaksaya, whose sons were
Trayyaruni, Kavi and Puskararuni. Although these three sons were born
of a ksatriya king, they also achieved the position of brahmanas. The son
of Brhatksatra constructed the city of Hastinapura and was known as
Hasti. His sons were Ajamidha, Dvimidha and Purumidha.

From Ajamidha came Priyamedha and other bréhmanas and also a son
named Brhadisu. The sons, grandsons and further descendants of
Brhadisu were Brhaddhanu, Brhatkaya, Jayadratha, Visada and Syenajit.
From Syenajit came four sons—Rucirasva, Drdhahanu, Kasya and Vatsa.
From Ruciragva came a son named Para, whose sons were Prthusena and
Nipa, and from Nipa came one hundred sons. Another son of Nipa was
Brahmadatta. From Brahmadatta came Visvaksena; from Visvaksena,
Udaksena; and from Udaksena, Bhallata.

The son of Dvimidha was Yavinara, and from Yavinara came many
sons and grandsons, such as Krtiman, Satyadhrti, Drdhanemi, Suparsva,
Sumati, Sannatiman, Krti, Nipa, Udgrayudha, Ksemya, Suvira,
Ripufijaya and Bahuratha. Purumidha had no sons, but Ajamidha, i in ad-
dition to his other sons, had a son named Nila, whose son was Santi. The
descendants of Santi were Susanti, Puruja, Arka and Bharmyasva.
Bharmyasva had five sons, one of whom, Mudgala, begot a dynasty of
bradhmanas. Mudgala had twins—a son, Divodasa, and a daughter,
Ahalya. From Ahalya, by her husband, Gautama, Satananda was born.
The son of Satananda was Satyadhrti, and his son was Saradvan.
Saradvan’s son was known as Krpa, and Saradvan’s daughter, known as
Krpi, became the wife of Dronacarya.
