Sunadya

Sunadya

Sunadya is the son of Jahnu Maharshi and his wife Kāverī, the daughter of Yuvanāśva. The Brahma Purāṇa calls him dharma-minded. Through his son Ajaka he is an ancestor of Kuśa and of Kuśika‘s line.

His line

The Brahma Purāṇa gives the line of Amāvasu. Jahnu, son of Suhotra and Keśinī, is the one who drank the Gaṅgā when she flooded his yajña, so that she became his daughter Jāhnavī. Jahnu Maharshi married Kāverī, the daughter of Yuvanāśva, best of rivers, and in Kāverī he begot a dharma-minded son named Sunadya. Sunadya’s son was Ajaka; Ajaka’s son was King Balākāśva; and Balākāśva’s son was Kuśa, fond of hunting, whose four sons, of deva-like splendour, began with Kuśika and Kuśanābha.
