Hari is a prince of the Yadu line of Kroshṭu, the last named of the five sons of Parājit. The Brahma Purāṇa gives the line in Chapter 15: from Kroshṭu came Vṛjinīvant, Svāhi, Ushadgu, Citraratha, Śaśabindu, Pṛthuśravas, Antara, Suyajña, Ushata, Śineyu and the rājarshi Maruta; Maruta’s eldest son was Kambalabarhisha, whose son Rukmakavaca slew a hundred armoured archers in battle; and Rukmakavaca’s son was Parājit, slayer of enemies.
Parājit had five sons, great heroes, never conquered: Rukmeshu, Pṛthurukma, Jyāmagha, Pālita and Hari. Their father gave Pālita and Hari to the kings of Videha. Rukmeshu became king with the support of Pṛthurukma, and Jyāmagha, sent away by those two, went to another land.
