Son of Abhijit

In the Brahma Purāṇa’s account of the line of Yadu, the daughter of Kāśyapa bore four sons to Andhaka: Kukura, Bhajamāna, Sanaka and Balabarhisha. Kukura’s son was Vṛshṇi; his son was Kapotaroma, and his son Tiviri. His son was Punarvasu, and Punarvasu’s son was Abhijit. Abhijit had twin sons, famous as Āhuka and Śrāhuka. The line went on through Āhuka, the Bhoja king, of whom the ancients sang a gāthā, and who had two sons in Kāśyapī, Devaka and Ugrasena.
