Description of Krosta dynasty, exchange of gotra of Ksatriyas with that of the priest

Vaishampayana said: О Janamejaya, Krasta the son of Yadu, had a single son named Vrjinivcin who was quite glorious. Svahi was the son of Vrjunivan. He was the foremost of the performers of sacrifices. (As Krishna was born in the same race of Krosta, similarly Satyabhama too was born in the same race. (After the expiry of seven generations in the Ksatriya race, the gotra of the Yajamana ksatriya is changed with that of the priest and with the exchage of the gotras, the intermarriage is possible among them. In this chapter only that line of the race of Krosta, in which MahaLaksmi was born has been indicated).

Rusada was the son of Svahi, who had been a good speaker performing huge sacrifices giving enormous daksinas. He had desired to get an excellent son, who could in turn have sons and grand sons. With this end in view, he perfomed several Putrestri yajhas after which a son named Citraratha was born to him.

Sasibindu was the son of Citraratha, who functioned as a Rajaisi performing several Yajhas.

The immensely glorious Prthusrava had been the son of Sasibindu, The people well- versed in the Puranas say that Uttara was the son of Prthusrava.

Suyajha was the son of Uttara, while Usata was the son of Suyajha. The religious minded Usata was also the perfomer of great Yajhas.

Sineyu was the son of Usata, who had been a teror for his enemies. His son was known as Maharsi Maruta.

Maharsi Kambala was the elder son of Maruta, who started performing dharma which rewards in the next birth.

Kambala — the great Maharsi, was desirous of having a promising son, as a result of which he got a son named Rukmakavacha, who could survive out of a hundred children of his father.

Rukmakavacha had earned great glory by killing a hundred warriors in the battle ground.

Rukmakavacha had the son named Parajit, who had valorous five sons, known by the names of Rukmesu, Prthurukma, Jayamagha, Palita and Hari. Parajit gave away his two sons named Palita and Hari to the king of Videha country to enable them to rule the Videha country.

With the help of Prthurukma, Rukmesu became the king. Both of them droue out Jayamagha from -the country, who started living in the hermitage of Jayamagha.

Because of his old age, he lived peacefully in the forset, but the Brahmanas had made him strong with the perfoming of tapas. Then the warrior Jayamagha, with a single flag fluttering over his chariod, conquered another king.

He alone established a city of Mrttikavati over the bank of Narmada. Then conquering the Rksavan mountain, he built a city named Suktipura, which was made by him his place of residence.

Saibya, the chaste wife of Jayamagha who was quite valorous and because of that Jayamagha did not marry the second time, inspite his being issiueless.

He got a girl, after winning a war. Out of fear, he termed that girl as his son’s wife, before his queen.

On hearing this the queen asked, “whose daughter-in-law is she?” Then the best of the rulers — Jayamagha took a vow.

Whenever a son would be born you, she would be the wife of the same son.” Then with the perfoming of the tapas by that girl the virtuous Saibya got a son in her old age, who was given the name of Vidarbha.

Thereafter Vidarbha produced two learned sons from that girl, who were known as Kratha and Kausika.

He also produced a chaste son named Lomapada, who had a son named Babhru. He had a son named Ahvati.

Kausika was the son of Ahvati, who was quite virtuous besides being learned. Cedi was the son of Kausika, as a result of which his coming generations came to be known as Chaidyas.

The fourth the son of Vidarbhu, was known as Bhima, who had a son named Kunti. Kunti had a son named Dhrsta who was quite tough in the battle field. Dhrsta had three valorous sons named Avanta Dasarha and valorous Visahara. Vyoma was the son of Dasarha. JimUrta was the son of Vyoma.

Brhati was the son of Jimuta and Brhati’s son was known as Bhlmaratha who had a son named Navaratha.

Dasaratha was the son of Navaratha Sakuni was the son of Dasaratha. Karambha was the son of Sakuni while Devarata was the son of the king Karambha.

Devarata had a son named Daiva- ksatriya who was glorious like the sons of the gods. His name was Madhu, who was sweet tongued like the honey. He happened to be the founder of the Madhu dynasty. Madhu got a son from his wife Vaidharbhi known by the name of Maruvasa.

Purusottam Purudvam was the son of Maruvasa. It is he who produced a son named Madhu from the Vidarbha princess Bhadravati, who expanded the race of Kuru. From his wife Kuruvamsa he got a son named Sathravan, who was all virtuous and was the subscriber of the glory of the Sattvatas.

By listening to the glory of Jyamagha’s race, one achieves enormous fame and has progeny as well.

Here ends Chapter 36, of the Harivahsa Parva of Harivarhsa Purina, the khilabhaga of the epic of Mahabharata, relating to description of the krosta dynasty and exchange of the gotra of a ksatriya with that of their priests. (Vrs.1-31, P.T.= 1917)

Vaishampayana said: O Janamejaya, Sattvat also known by the name of Sattvan, produced from Kausalya the pleasant natured sons known as Bhajina, Bhajaman, the divine - Devavrddha, great armed Andhaka and Vrsni. They were the founders of four dynasties, which you please listen from me in detail.

Bhajaman had two wives named Bahyaka and Upabahyaka — the daughters of the king Smjaya. Many sons were born to both the queens.

Bahyaka the daughter of Smjaya was the mother of Krmi, Kramana, Dhrsta, SUra and Puranjaya.

The same king Bhajaman's wife Upabahyaka — the daughter of Smjaya had sons named Ayutajit, Sahasrajit, satajit and Dasaka.

The king Devavrddha, the perfomer of the Yajnas, performed severe tapas for getting an extremely virtuous son.

With the resolve for getting a virtuous son, the king used to perform tapas standing in the waters of the Parnaia river. Then the river getting moved with the performance, intended to do good to the king who had been performing tapas standing in her water.

She could not find a women, who could produced a son of great merit, as desired by the king. Then feeling anxious, the river Parnasala, the excellent river, in order to do good to the king, thought in seclusion to became king’s wife herself.

Then, she taking to the form of a beautiful maid, intended to marry the king, who also desired to have her as his wife.

Thereafter the intelligent king impregnated her to achieve an excellent son. Then Parnasala — the best of the rivers, with the semen of Devavrddha, produced a child after ten months, who came to be known as Babhru, who was all virtuous.

It is heard that those who are conversent with the ancient history of this dynasty, used to sing the glory of the Mahatma Devavrddha like this, “As we visualised the Mahatma Devavrddhaain his absence, we find him similarly on meeting him.” In other words he was visualised by the people everywhere in one and the same form.

Babhru is the best among the humans, but Devavrddha resembles the gods. Both Babhru and Devavrddha, lost their lives, while fighting a battle with seven thousand and sixty six warriors achieving the final beautitude, reaching Brahmaloka.

The king Babhru was the foremost among the givers of the charities, was quite glorious, learned and was devoted to the Brahmanas. He had very strong weapons. He was glorious, illustrious and the foremost of the people of Satvata Varhsa. The race of Babhru is quite vast. Martika- vatabhojas belong to his race.

Andhaka on the other hand, produced four sons from the daughter of Kasiraja Drdhasva, who were known as Kukura, Bhajaman, Sami and kambalabarhisa.

Kukura’s son was known as Dhrsnu, who had a son named Kapotavarma. Taittiri was the son of Kapotavarma.

Punarvasu was the son of Taitteri. Punarvasu had a son named Abhijit, who had a son and daughter who were born twins. This is what has been heard.

Both of them were known by the names of Ahuka and Ahuki and were well known in the world. There had been a popular story relating to Ahuka.

He was enthusiastic like the young horse and when he moved with his family then his royal wooden throne was carried by eighty people.

The persons who moved surrounding him, there was none who was without a son or did not give daksina in hundreds, or did not possess age less them hundreds and thousands of years or who indulged in evil ways or non performer of the sacrifices.

In order to greet Ahuka in the eastern directions, ten thousand elephants with chariots who were bound with the chains of gold and silver, used to arrive. The Yoka and the bottom of the carriage, the shield of the chariots were thundering like the clouds, carrying the flags welcomed him.

The same was the number of the chariots and elephants welcomed the king Ahuka in the northern and other directions. The Yadavas of Bhoja race, bringing all the ministers under their control adored the king Ahuka. The king Ahuka had provided the bells of golds for all the chariots as well as the elephants.

The sister of Ahuka of Andhaka race, was married in the royal race of Avanti. Ahuka had two sons from the daughter of the king of Kasi, who looked like the divine princes and known by the names of Devaka and Ugrasena.

Devaka had four sons resembling the princes of gods and were known by the name of Devavan, Upadeva, Sudeva and Devaraksita.

He had also seven daughter known by the names of Devaki, Sdntideva, Sudeva, Devaraksita, Vrkadevi, Upadeva and Sunasi. All of them were married by Devaka to Vasudeva.

Ugrasna had nine sons, of whom, Kariisa was the eldest one. The rest were known by the names of Nyagrodha, Sunama, Капка, Subhumipa, Sanku, Rashtrapala, Sutanu, Anadhrsti and Pustiman. They had five beautiful sisters named Kamsa, Kamsavati, Sutanu, Rastrapali and Капка. Thus in the Kuru who was born in the Kuru race and progeny of the Kuru race has been of the Kuru race, he achieves progeny and discussed.

Here ends Chapter 37, of Harivansa Parva of Harivamsa Purana, a khilabhaga of the Mahabharata relating to the glory of Babhru varhsa. (Vrs.1-33, P.T. = 1950)
