Kṛtāgni

Kṛtāgni · kṛta-agni, “who has kindled the fire”

Kṛtāgni is one of the four sons of the wise King Kanaka, in the Haihaya line of the vaṃśa of Yadu. His brother Kṛtavīrya was the father of Kārtavīryārjuna. The Sūta names him when he tells the munis of the line of Yadu, in the Brahma Purāṇa.

Son of Kanaka

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; his son Kārta; and his son Sāhañja, after whom a city was named Sāhañjanī.

The son of Mahishmān was the mighty Bhadraśreṇya; his son was Durdama, and his son was the wise Kanaka. Kanaka had four sons: Kṛtavīrya, Kṛtaujas, Kṛtadhanvan and Kṛtāgni. Kṛtavīrya’s son was Arjuna, that is Kārtavīryārjuna, who ruled the seven dvīpas with his thousand arms.
