Sahasrāda is the first of the five sons of Yadu. His three sons, Haihaya, Haya and King Veṇuhaya, were very righteous, and from Haihaya came the line of the Haihayas.

In the line of Yadu

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, and from him the line went on through Kārta and Sāhañja to Kṛtavīrya and Kārtavīryārjuna. After Yadu, the Haihayas got the name Yādavas.
