Bṛhadishu

Bṛhadishu · bṛhat-ishu, “of the mighty arrow”

Bṛhadishu is a king of the vaṃśa of Pūru, one of the five sons of Bāhyāśva in the second line of Ajamīḍha. The Sūta names him when he tells the munis of the vaṃśa of Pūru, in the Brahma Purāṇa.

Son of Bāhyāśva

The second vaṃśa of Ajamīḍha came from his wife Nīlī, on whom he begot Suśānti. Suśānti’s son was Purujāti, and Purujāti’s son was Bāhyāśva.

Bāhyāśva had five sons: Mudgala, Sṛñjaya, King Bṛhadishu, the valiant Yavīnara and Kṛmilāśva. “These five are able to protect the lands,” it is famed.
