In the solar line
The Sūta tells the munis that of the sons of Dhundhumāra three were left: the eldest Dṛḍhāśva, Candrāśva and Kapilāśva. Dṛḍhāśva had Haryaśva; Haryaśva had Nikumbha, devoted to the dharma of a kshatriya; and Nikumbha’s son was Saṃhatāśva, skilled in battle. Saṃhatāśva’s sons were Akṛśāśva and Kṛśāśva, and his daughter was Haimavatī, famed as Dṛshadvatī. “Her son” was Prasenajit, and the line went on to Yuvanāśva and Māndhātā, conqueror of the three worlds.
