'Bharata had nine sons by three wives; but the king did not accept them, saying: "They are not like me." Then Bharata, having performed great sacrifices, obtained from Bharadvaja a son named Bhumanyu. The delight of the line of Puru, finding himself in possession of a worthy son, installed Bhumanyu as heir to the throne. Then Bhumanyu had a son named Vitatha. Suhotra, Suhota, Suhavi, and Suyajus were born to Bhumanyu by his wife Pushkarini. The eldest of them, Suhotra, obtained the kingdom over kings and performed many sacrifices — the rajasuya, the ashvamedha, and others. Suhotra possessed the whole earth, girdled by the ocean, full of elephants, cows, and horses, abounding in many jewels. Burdened by its immense weight, full of elephants, horses, chariots, and thickly peopled, his earth seemed to sink beneath the waters. While king Suhotra ruled his subjects by dharma, the land was dotted with hundreds of thousands of sacred shrines and sacrificial posts; with its people and its crops flourishing, and with the gods as it were descended upon it, it shone in wondrous splendor. A wife of the Ikshvaku line bore to Suhotra Ajamidha, Sumidha, and Purumidha. Of these Ajamidha was the best; on him the line was established; he had six sons by three wives. His wife Dhumini bore Riksha; Nili bore Dushyanta and Parameshthin; Keshini bore two sons handsome in form, and Jahnu. O king, all these Panchalas are descendants of Dushyanta and Parameshthin, while the Kushikas are descendants of the boundlessly radiant Jahnu. The elder of the two handsome sons is called king Riksha; from Riksha, O king, was born Samvarana, the continuer of your line.'
