The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa names Vidūratha in the Sātvata line at Mathurā, in the Dvāpara Yuga. He is the son of Bhajamāna and the father of Surabhakta, and he ruled as long as his father. Sūta tells the line to Śaunaka.

Per Brahma Purāṇa

The Brahma Purāṇa gives Vidūratha in the line of Sattvant. To Sattvant, Kausalyā bore strong sons, among them Bhajamāna. Bhajamāna had two wives, Bāhyakā and Upabāhyakā, daughters of Sṛñjaya, and many sons.

Bhajamāna’s son was Vidūratha, “chief among chariot-warriors”. Vidūratha’s son was the hero Rājādhideva. Rājādhideva’s sons were Datta, Atidatta, Śoṇāśva, Śvetavāhana, Śamī, Daṇḍaśarma, Dantaśatru and Śatrujit, and his daughters were Śravaṇā and Śravishṭhā.

Śamī’s son was Pratikshatra; his son Svayambhoja; and his son Bhadika. Bhadika’s sons, of fearsome valour, were Kṛtavarma the eldest, Śatadhanvā the middle one, Devāntaka, Narānta, Bhishak, Paitaruṇa, Sudānta, Atidānta, Nikāśya and Kāmadambhaka.
