In this chapter the descendants of Bharata Maharaja and many other kings are described. The son of Maharaja Bharata was named Sumati. He followed the path of liberation given by Rsabhadeva. Some people mistakenly thought Sumati to be the direct incarnation of Lord Buddha. The son of Sumati was Devatajit, and his son was Devadyumna. Devadyumnas son was Paramesthi, and his son was Pratiha. Pratiha was a very great devotee of Lord Visnu, and he had three sons, named Pratiharta, Prastota and Udgata. Pratiharta had two sons, Aja and Bhuma. The son of Bhuma was Udgitha, and the son of Udgitha was Prastava. The son of Prastava was Vibhu, and the son of Vibhu was Prthusena, whose son was Nakta. The wife of Nakta, Druti, gave birth to Gaya, who was a very famous and saintly king. Actually King Gaya was a partial incarnation of Lord Visnu, and because of his great devotion to Lord Visnu he received the title Mahapurusa. King Gaya had sons named Citraratha, Sumati and Avarodhana. The son of Citraratha was the emperor Samrat, and his son was Marici, whose son was Bindu. Bindus son was Madhu, and Madhus son was Viravrata. Viravratas two sons were Manthu and Pramanthu, and the son of Manthu was Bhauvana. The son of Bhauvana was Tvasta, and the son of Tvasta was Viraja, who glorified the whole dynasty. Viraja had one hundred sons and one daughter. Of these, the son named Satajit became very famous.
