Sattvant is a king of the Yadu line, the son of Madhu and his wife Aikshvākī, who was born in the Ikshvāku line. Endowed with every virtue, he increased the fame of the Sātvatas and is the one who gave the Sātvatas their name. His wife Kausalyā bore him six strong sons: Bhāgi, Bhajamāna, Divya, Devāvṛdha, Andhaka and Vṛshṇi.
His line
The Brahma Purāṇa tells the line of Vidarbha in the Yadu vaṃśa down through Daśārha, Bhīmaratha and Navaratha to Vṛddhakshatra. Vṛddhakshatra’s son was Madhu, like a son of the devas, sweet of speech, the founder of the line of the Madhus. Madhu begot in Vaidarbhī a son Purudvant, best of men, and in his wife Aikshvākī he begot Sattvant.
From Sattvant, Kausalyā bore strong sons: Bhāgi, Bhajamāna, Divya, Devāvṛdha, Andhaka, and Vṛshṇi, the delight of the Yadus. “Their four special lines we have described in detail,” the teller says. The chapter then tells the sons of Bhajamāna, the account of Devāvṛdha, and the line of Andhaka.
