His family
In the line of Kroshṭu, son of Yadu, Rukmakavaca slew a hundred armoured archers in battle and gained the highest śrī. To him was born Parājit, slayer of enemies. Parājit had five sons, great heroes, unconquered: Rukmeshu, Pṛthurukma, Jyāmagha, Pālita and Hari. The father gave Pālita and Hari to the kings of Videha. Rukmeshu became king with the support of Pṛthurukma, and Jyāmagha, sent away by them, lived in an āśrama and then went alone to another land, where he conquered lands on the bank of the Narmadā.
