Andhaka is a son of Kroshṭu by his wife Mādrī, in the line of Yadu. With Vṛshṇi he is one of the branches of the line of Kroshṭu, which the Brahma Purāṇa calls the Vṛshṇi line in three branches.

In the line of Kroshṭu

The Sūta tells the munis that Kroshṭu‘s wives were Gāndhārī and Mādrī. Gāndhārī bore Anamitra, and Mādrī bore Yudhājit and Devamīḍhusha. Their line grew as the Vṛshṇi line in three branches. “Mādrī’s sons were Vṛshṇi and Andhaka.” Śvaphalka and Citraka were the sons of Vṛshṇi.
