His family
The Brahma Purāṇa gives the line of Kroshṭu, son of Yadu. Rukmakavaca, who killed a hundred armoured archers in battle and gained the highest fortune, had a son Parājit, a 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.
Sent away by Rukmeshu and Pṛthurukma, Jyāmagha lived in an āśrama. Then, well taught by brāhmaṇas, he went alone with his bow, his banner and a chariot to another land, conquered the country along the Narmadā and lived in the city of Śuktimatī.
