452:24 It was finally ruined by the encroachments of the Ganges, but vestiges of it were, at least until lately, to be traced along the river, nearly in a line with Delhi, about sixty miles to the east.

452:25 In one place, son of Suhotra; in another, grandson of Hastin: Mahábhárata.

452:26 The copies agree in this reading, yet it can scarcely be correct. Kańwa has already been noticed as the son of Apratiratha. According to the Bhágavata, the elder son of Ajamíd́ha was Priyamedhas, from whom a tribe of Brahmans descended. The Matsya has Vrihaddhanush, and names the wife of Ajamíd́ha, Dhúminí. It also however, along with the Váyu, makes Kańwa the son of Ajamíd́ha by his wife Kesiní.

452:27 Vrihaddhanush: Bhágavata. Also called Vrihaddharman: Hari V.

452:28 Vrihatkaya: Bhágavata.

452:29 Satyajit: Hari V.

452:30 Aśwajit: Matsya. Viśada: Bhágavata.

452:32 Kámpilya appears to be the Kampil of the Mohammedans, situated in the Doab. It was included in southern Pánchála. The Matsya makes Samara the son of Káśya.

452:33 Vibhrája in MSS., also in the Váyu.

452:34 The Bhágavata omits the descents subsequent to Nípa, and makes Brahmadatta the son of Nípa by Sukriti. In the Hari V. is a curious legend of the different transmigrations of Brahmadatta and his six companions, who were successively as many Brahmans, then foresters, then p. 453 deer, then water-fowl, then swans, and finally Brahmans again, when with the king they obtained liberation. According to the Bhágavata, Brahmadatta composed a treatise on the Yoga, a Yoga tantra.

453:35 Dańd́asena: Hari V.

453:36 Bhalláka: Váyu. Bhalláda: Bhágavata. The Váyu makes him the last of the race. The Hari V. adds that he was killed by Karńa. The Matsya names his successor Janamejaya, when the race of the Nípas was exterminated by Ugráyudha; as noticed below.

453:37 So the Váyu and Bhágavata. The Matsya and Hari V., with less consistency, derive this family also from Ajamíd́ha.

453:38 Kritimat: Bhágavata.

453:39 Between these two the Váyu inserts Mahat and Rukmaratha. The Matsya, Sudhanwan, Śarvabhauma, Mahápaurava, and Rukmadhara. The Bráhma P., Sudharman, Śarvabhauma, Mahat, and Rukmaratha.

453:40 The Bhágavata says he was the author of six Sanhitás of the Sáma-veda. (See p. 282.)
