In the line of Aṅga

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the line of Aṅga. Daśaratha of Aṅga, called Lomapāda, had a son Caturaṅga by the grace of Ṛshyaśṛṅga, the husband of his daughter Śāntā. Caturaṅga’s son was Pṛthulāksha, and his son was Campa. Campa’s capital is Campāpurī; before this the city was called Mālinī. To Campa, by the grace of Pūrṇabhadra, Haryaṅga was born, and by his mantras Vaibhāṇḍaki, Ṛshyaśṛṅga, brought down to earth Airāvata, the finest vāhana of Indra, to be Haryaṅga’s elephant.
