In the line of the Sun

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the kings of the solar line. Rāma’s son was Kuśa; Kuśa’s son Atithi; his son Nishadha; Nishadha’s son Nala; Nala’s son Nabha; Nabha’s son Puṇḍarīka; his son Kshemadhanvā; and his son Devānīka. Devānīka’s son was Ahīnagu; his son Sudhanvā; his son Śala. Śala’s son was Ukya, and Ukya’s son was Vajranābha, whose son was Nala. “In the Purāṇas,” the Sūta says, “only two Nalas are famed: one the son of Vīrasena, the other of the Ikshvāku line.”
