Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the line of Aṅga. Campa, son of Pṛthulāksha, had his capital at Campāpurī, which before was called Mālinī, and by the grace of Pūrṇabhadra Haryaṅga was born to him. Haryaṅga’s son was King Bhadraratha; his son the lord of men Bṛhatkarman; his son Bṛhaddarbha; his son Bṛhanmanas; his son Jayadratha, the king of kings; his son the great king Dṛḍharatha; his son Janamejaya, conqueror of all; his son Vaikarṇa; and his son Vikarṇa, whose hundred sons increased the line of Aṅga.
