435:7 Vrishńi: Bhágavata, Váyu, Matsya, &c. Dhrisht́a: Agni. Dhrishńu: Bráhma, Hari V.

435:8 The Bhágavata puts Viloman first. The Linga makes it an epithet of Kapotaroman, saying he was Vilomaja, 'irregularly begotten.' In place of Viloman we have Raivata, Váyu; Taittiri, Matsya; Tittiri, Agni.

436:9 Nava: Agni. Bala: Linga. Nala: Matsya. Tomas: Kúrma. Anu: Bhágavata.

436:10 The Matsya, Váyu, and Agni agree with our text. The Linga, Padma, and Kúrma read Ánakadundubhi as a synonyme of Bala. The Bráhma and Hari V. have no such name, but here insert Punarvasu, son of Taittiri. The Bhágavata has a different series, or Anu, Andhaka, Dundubhi, Arijit, Punarvasu, Áhuka.

436:11 This Bhajamána is the son of Andhaka, according to all the best authorities; so the Padma calls this branch the Ándhakas. The Agni makes him the son of Babhru.

436:12 Váta, Niváta, Śamin: Váyu.

436:13 Sonáśwa: Matsya. Sonáksha: Padma. Śini: Bhájavata.

436:14 Bhojaka: Agni. Bhoja: Padma.

436:15 Ten sons: Matsya, &c.

436:16 Devárha: Váyu, Padma, Agni, and Matsya; and a different series follows, or Kambalavarhish, Asamaujas, Samaujas, Sudanstra, Suvaśa, Dhrisht́a, Anamitra, Nighna, Satrájit. They all make Vasudeva the son of Śúra, however; but the three first leave it doubtful whether that Śúra was the son of Bhajamána or not. The Bhágavata and Bráhma agree with the text, which is probably correct. The Bráhma has Śúra son of Devamíd́hush, although it does not specify the latter amongst the sons of Hridika.

436:17 Ánaka a larger, and Dundubhi a smaller drum.

437:18 The Mahábhárata is the best authority for these circumstances.

437:19 The Padma calls him king of Kashmir.

437:20 The Bráhma P. and Hari V. make Śrutadevá mother of Śiśupála, and Prithukírtti of Dantavaktra.
