Jayadratha is a king of the Aṅga line, the son of Bṛhanmanas and the father of Dṛḍharatha. The Brahma Purāṇa calls him rājendra, king of kings. He is a different king from Jayadratha of Sindhu, who fell to Arjuna.
His line
The Sūta tells the munis the kings of the Aṅga line. Aṅga’s son was Dadhivāhana, and the line runs through Diviratha, Dharmaratha, Citraratha, Daśaratha called Lomapāda, Caturaṅga, Pṛthulāksha and Campa, after whom Campāpurī is named. To Campa, by the grace of Pūrṇabhadra, Haryaṅga was born. Haryaṅga’s son was Bhadraratha; his son Bṛhatkarman; his son Bṛhaddarbha; his son Bṛhanmanas; and his son the king of kings Jayadratha. Jayadratha’s son was the great king Dṛḍharatha; his son Janamejaya, conqueror of all; his son Vaikarṇa; and his son Vikarṇa, whose hundred sons increased the Aṅga line. All these kings, the Sūta says, were true to their vows, great-souled, rich in offspring and mahārathas.
