Bāhyāśva was a king of the line of Pūru, in the second line of Ajamīḍha. He was the son of Purujāti and the father of five sons.

Sūta tells the munis that Ajamīḍha begot Suśānti on Nīlī. 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. Mudgala’s heir was Maudgalya, and Sṛñjaya’s son was Pañcajana, from whom the line ran down through Somadatta, Sahadeva and Somaka.
