Text 11] The Dynasties of the Sons of Yayati 185

TRANSLATION

From Diviratha came ason named Dharmaratha, and his son was
Citraratha, who was celebrated as Romapada. Romapada, however,
was without issue, and therefore his friend Maharaja Dasaratha
gave him his own daughter, named Santa. Romapada accepted her
as his daughter, and thereafter she married Rsyasrnga. When the
demigods from the heavenly planets failed to shower rain,
Rsyasrnga was appointed the priest for performing a sacrifice,
after being brought from the forest by the allurement of
prostitutes, who danced, staged theatrical performances accom-
panied by music, and embraced and worshiped him. After
Rsyasrnga came, the rain fell. Thereafter, Rsyasrnga performed a
son-giving sacrifice on behalf of Maharaja Dasaratha, who had no
issue, and then Maharaja Dasaratha had sons. From Romapada, by
the mercy of Rsyasrnga, Caturanga was born, and from Caturanga
came Prthulaksa.
