Purudvant

Purudvant

Purudvant is a prince of the Yādava line, the son of Madhu and Vaidarbhī. The Purāṇa calls him a purushottama, best of men.

In the line of Kroshṭu, son of Yadu, the Brahma Purāṇa tells that Vṛddhakshatra’s son was Madhu, like a son of the devas, sweet of speech, the founder of the line of the Madhus. Madhu, in Vaidarbhī, begot Purudvant, best of men. In his wife Aikshvākī, born in the Ikshvāku line, Madhu begot Sattvant, endowed with every virtue, who gave the Sātvatas their name.
