Vibhu (son of Satyaketu)
Vibhu
Vibhu is a king of the Kāśī line that came down from Alarka. He is the father of Ānarta. The Brahma Purāṇa gives his line twice, and names his father Satyaketu in one telling and Varshaketu in the other.
His line
In Chapter 11 the teller gives the line from Alarka, king of Kāśī: Alarka’s son was Sannati; then came Sunītha, Kshema, Ketumanta, Suketu, Dharmaketu and the mahāratha (great chariot-warrior) Satyaketu. Satyaketu’s son was Vibhu, and Vibhu’s son was Anarta. After him came Sukumāra, Dhṛshṭaketu, Veṇuhotra and Bhārga.
In Chapter 13, Sūta tells the munis the line again: Alarka’s son was Kshemaka; his son Varshaketu; his son Vibhu; his son Ānarta; his son Sukumāra; and his son Satyaketu, an embodiment of dharma.
