Śrī Śuka resumed : Now, Kuśa's son was Atithi, of whom was born Niṣadha and the latter's son was Nābha. Then came Puṇḍarika, whose son was Kṣemadhanvā; and from (the loins of) the latter sprang up Devānika. Of Devānika was born Aniha and his son was Pāriyātra. From (the loins of) the latter sprang up Balasthala and of the latter was born Vajranābha, who emanated from (a ray of) the sun-god. (1-2)
His son was Khagaṇa and of the latter was born a son, Vidhṛti (by name). From (the loins of) Vidhṛti sprang up Hiraṇyanābha, a teacher of Yoga and a pupil of the sage Jaimini. From him the sage Yājñavalkya of Kosala received instruction in Yoga relating to the Spirit, (which is) conducive to great elevation and capable of snapping the knot of ignorance existing in the heart. (3-4)
Hiraṇyanābha's son was Puṣya, of whom Dhruvasandhi was born. Then came Sudarśana; from Sudarśana, Agnivarṇa and from the latter sprang up Śighra, whose son was Maru. He is the same (Maru) who, having attained perfection through Yoga, stays (even to this day) as an inhabitant of Kalāpagraṃma (a famous colony of Yogis in an obscure part of the Himālayas), and will revive the solar dynasty, when extinct, at the end of the Kali age. (5-6)
From (the loins of) Maru sprang up Prasuśruta, whose son was Sandhi and the son of Sandhi, again, was Amarṣaṇa. The latter's son was Mahaswān, of whom Viśwasāhva was born. (7)
Of him was born Prasenajit and from (the loins of) the latter sprang up Takṣaka; and of the latter was born Bṛhadbala, who was slain in battle (O Parikṣit!) by your father (Abhimanyu). (8) (1-8)

एते हीक्ष्वाकुभूपाला अतीताः शृण्वनागतान् ।
बृहद्बलस्य भविता पुत्रो नाम बृहद्रणः ॥ ९॥
ऊरुक्रियः सुतस्तस्य वत्सवृद्धो भविष्यति ।

इति श्रीमद्भागवते महापुराणे पारमहंस्यां संहितायां
नवमस्कन्धे इक्ष्वाकुवंशवर्णनं नाम द्वादशोऽध्यायः ॥ १२॥

These are all the past kings of Ikṣwāku's line; (now) hear (the names) of the coming ones. Bṛhadbala's son will be named Bṛhadraṇa, of whom will be born urukriya and from (the loins of) the latter will spring up Vatsavṛddha. Of the latter will be born Prativyoma; from Prativyoma Bhānu and from him will follow Divāka, a (great) general. (9-10)
Of him will be born the valiant Sahadeva. Bṛhadaśwa will be the son of Sahadeva and Bhānumān, of Bṛhadaśwa. Bhānumān's son will be Pratikāśwa and the latter's son will be Supratika. (11)
Then will follow Marudeva; from Marudeva, Sunakṣatra and Sunakṣatra's son will be Puṣkara, Puṣkara's son will be Antarikṣa; Antarikṣa's son will be Sutapā and the latter's Amitrajit. (12)
Again, Bṛhadrāja will be the son of Amitrajit; Barhi of Bṛhadrāja and from the latter will follow Kṛtañjaya. His son will be Raṇañjaya and from (the loins of) Raṇañjaya will spring up Sañjaya. (13)
From the latter will follow Śākya; from Śākya, Śuddhoda and his son will be called Lāṅgala. Of him will be born Prasenajit and from Prasenajit will follow Kṣudraka. (14)
From (the loins of) Kṣudraka will spring up Raṇaka and of the latter will be born a son, Suratha (by name). From Suratha will follow a son, Sumitra by name, who will be the last of his line. These are (all) the scions of Bṛhadbala. (15)
This race of the Ikṣwākus will have its end in Sumitra; for, having reached this king, the line will actually terminate in the Kali Yuga. (16)
Thus ends the twelfth discourse, "A genealogy of (the remaining kings of) Ikṣwāku's line" in Book Nine of the great and glorious Bhāgavata-Purāṇa, otherwise known as the Paramahārṣa-Sarhhitā. (9-16)
