The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that Jahnu was a king of the line of Kuru in the Dvāpara Yuga, the son of Kuru and father of Suratha. This Kuru became king when the third caraṇa of the Dvāpara ended, was the husband of the apsarā Sukeśī and made Kurukshetra; the text keeps him apart from Kuru son of Suśamyarṇa.
