Śineyu

Śineyu

Śineyu is of the Yadu line, descended from Kroshṭu, son of Yadu. He was the son of Ushata and the father of Maruta, and the Brahma Purāṇa calls him a scorcher of enemies.

His line

To Kroshṭu was born Vṛjinīvant, and his son was Svāhi, best among performers of yajña. Svāhi’s son Ushadgu performed yajñas with abundant dakshiṇā for the sake of progeny and obtained a son, Citraratha, devoted to sacred works. His son was Śaśabindu, who gave ample dakshiṇā and followed the conduct of the rājarshis, and Śaśabindu’s son was the famous king Pṛthuśravas. Those who know the Purāṇas say that his son was Antara; to Antara was born Suyajña, and his son was Ushata, devoted to his own dharma. Ushata’s son was Śineyu, a scorcher of enemies. Śineyu’s son was Maruta, a rājarshi, whose eldest son was Kambalabarhisha.
