TRANSLATION
The son of Mahinara will be Dandapani, and his son will be
Nimi, from whom King Ksemaka will be born. I have now de-
scribed to you the moon-god’s dynasty, which is the source of
brahmanas and ksatriyas and is worshiped by demigods and great
saints. In this Kali-yuga, Ksemaka will be the last monarch. Now I
shall describe to you the future of the Magadha dynasty. Please
listen.
