"To Yayati, from Devayani, the eldest son was Yadu; in Yadu's line there was one known as Devamidha, a Yadava, and his son Shura, honored in the three worlds. From Shura came Shauri, the best of men, the greatly famed Vasudeva, unsurpassed in the bow, valiant, equal to Kartavirya in battle; and of that same valor, in that same line, was a king named Shini."

The genealogy leads to Vasudeva, the father of Krishna: the lunar line is crowned by the one in whose house the Lord will appear. It is telling that Shini, the ancestor of Satyaki, is placed on equal footing with Vasudeva in valor: the greatness of a lineage lies not in one person but in many branches. The verse teaches that lineages are made glorious not by a single name but by a whole tree of worthy men; and the same root that raised the father of Krishna also gave the valiant Shini, whose branch would lead to Satyaki.
