Sankarshana KRISHNA Subhadra.

With the birth of Sri Krishna, we come to the end of the Ninth Skandha

of the Bhagavata Purana. But for the completion of the racial account,

we give here only the 1st. Chapter of the 12th. Skandha.

*SKANDHA XII. CHAP. 1.*

We have seen Ripunjaya to be the last of the Magadha kings. He will be

also called Puranjaya (The future tense, it must be remembered, is used

solely with reference to the time of Parikshit). His minister Sunaka

shall kill him and place his own son Pradyota on the throne.

years. Seven Abhiras, kings of Avabhriti, ten Gardabhins (men of

Gardabha) and sixteen Kankas shall then be the rulers. They shall be

followed by 8 Yavanas, 14 Turushkas and ten Surundas. These 65 kings

shall reign for one thousand and ninety nine years. Eleven Moulas shall

then be the kings for 300 years.

Bhuta-Nanda, Bangiri, Sisunandi and Yaso-Nandi shall then become kings.

Their sons, all known as Bahlikas, shall succeed them. Then Pushpamitra

shall be the king, then his son Durmitra. Seven Andhras, seven Kosalas,

Vidurapatis and Nishadhas shall then become kings, at one and the same

time, over the lands of these names. They shall be the descendants of

the Bahlikas.

Visvasphurji, otherwise called Puranjaya, shall be the king of the

Magadhas. He shall make havoc of the caste system. His chief town shall

be Padmavati (Modern Patna) but his kingdom shall extend from Hardwar to

Pryag.

Then there shall be Sudra and Mlechcha kings.
