Sāhañja

Sāhañja

Sāhañja is a king of the Haihaya line, descended from Yadu. He was the son of Kārta, and a city was named Sāhañjanī after him.

In the Haihaya line

The Sūta tells the munis the line of Yadu. 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 was Kārta; and Kārta’s son was Sāhañja. After him a city was named Sāhañjanī. The line goes on with Bhadraśreṇya, son of Mahishmān, and through Durdama and Kanaka to Kṛtavīrya and his son Kārtavīryārjuna.
