His line

Lomaharshaṇa the Sūta tells the munis the line of Dhruva. From Ripu, Bṛhatī bore Cakshus, full of every tejas, and Cakshus begot Cākshusha Manu in Vairaṇī, the daughter of Prajāpati Vīraṇa. To Cākshusha Manu ten sons were born of Naḍvalā: Kutsa, Purusha, Śatadyumna, Tapasvī, Satyavāk, Kavi, Agnishṭut, Atirātra, Sudyumna and Abhimanyu, the last of the ten. From Puru (Purusha), his brother, came Aṅga, and from Aṅga came Vena.
