Per Brahma Purāṇa

In the Brahma Purāṇa, Sūta tells the munis the line of Pūru. Kuru went from Prayāga and made Kurukshetra, and his descendants are the Kauravas. Kuru had four sons: Sudhanvan, Sudhanus, Parīkshit and the mighty Arimejaya. Parīkshit’s sons were Janamejaya, Śrutasena, Agrasena and Bhīmasena. Janamejaya’s son was the wise Suratha; Suratha’s son was Vidūratha; and Vidūratha’s son was the mahāratha (great chariot-warrior) Ṛksha. The Purāṇa adds that in the Soma vaṃśa there were two Ṛkshas, two Parīkshits, three Bhīmasenas and two Janamejayas.
