Janamejaya said: ‘I wish to hear truly and in due order, O lord, of the birth and deeds among men of gods, danavas, yakshas, rakshasas, and other beings, born as great souls.’ Vaishampayana said: ‘Of those celestials who were born among men, O lord of men, and first of all of the danavas, I shall tell you all. He who was renowned as the bull among danavas, Vipracitti, became the renowned bull among men, [named] Jarasandha. And he who, O king, is remembered as the son of Diti, Hiranyakashipu, was born in the world of men as Shishupala, a bull among men. He who is renowned as the younger brother of Prahlada, Samhrada, was born, renowned as Shalya, the bull of the Bahlika race. Anuhrada, fiery, who was born last, became, renowned as Dhrishtaketu, a lord of men. He who, O king, is remembered as the daitya named Shibi, became, renowned as Druma, a king on earth. He who among them was the best of the asuras, named Bashkala, became, renowned as Bhagadatta, a lord of men. Ayahshira, Ashvashira, the mighty Ayahshanku, and also Gaganamurdhan, and Vegavan the fifth — these five mighty, great-souled great asuras were born, O king, among the Kekayas as the foremost of kings. And that other valiant one, renowned as Ketuman, became, renowned as Amitaujas, a king on earth.’
