In the line of the Sun

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the kings of the solar line. Saudāsa, also called Kalmāshapāda and Mitrasaha, had a son Sarvakarmā; his son was Anaraṇya, and his son Nighna. From Nighna came two foremost kings, Anamitra and Raghu. Anamitra’s son was the learned Duvidaha. His son was Dilīpa, and Dilīpa’s son was the heroic Raghu, the great king in the city of Ayodhyā. Raghu’s son was Aja, Aja’s son was Daśaratha, and Daśaratha’s son was Rāma.
