Bṛhat

Bṛhat · bṛhat, “the great one”

Bṛhat is a king, the son of Suhotra and the father of three sons, Ajamīḍha, Dvimīḍha and Purumīḍha.

The line of Ajamīḍha

The Sūta tells the munis: “Best of brāhmaṇas, hear the line of Ajamīḍha.” Suhotra‘s son was the one named Bṛhat, and he had three sons: Ajamīḍha, Dvimīḍha and Purumīḍha. Ajamīḍha’s wives were Nīlinī, Keśinī and Dhūminī, and on Keśinī he begot the mighty Jahnu, whom Gaṅgā Devī chose as her husband.
