Kambalabarhisha is a king of the Yādava line of Kroshṭu, the eldest son of the rājarshi Maruta. Near the end of his life he kept a great observance of dharma for a son with worthy descendants, and Rukmakavaca was born to him, the father of Parājit and grandfather of Jyāmagha.
The Purāṇa gives the line: Citraratha, devoted to sacred works; his son Śaśabindu, who performed yajñas with ample dakshiṇā; Pṛthuśravas; Antara; Suyajña; Ushata; Śineyu, a scorcher of enemies; and the rājarshi Maruta. Maruta’s eldest son was Kambalabarhisha.
Though he was bound for the other world and near death, Kambalabarhisha wished for a son with excellent descendants and performed a great observance of dharma. After a hundred were born to him, one excellent son was born, Rukmakavaca. Rukmakavaca killed in battle, with sharp arrows, a hundred excellent armoured archers and gained the highest śrī (glory). His son was Parājit, slayer of enemies, whose five sons were Rukmeshu, Pṛthurukma, Jyāmagha, Pālita and Hari.
