His line

The Sūta tells the munis the line of Yadu. Yadu had five sons, like sons of the devas: Sahasrāda, Payoda, Kroshṭu, Nīla and Añjika. Sahasrāda had three very righteous sons: Haihaya, Haya and King Veṇuhaya. Haihaya’s son was Dharmanetra. Dharmanetra’s son was Kārta, and Kārta’s son was Sāhañja, after whom a city was named Sāhañjanī.
