The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa names Vijaya in the Ikshvāku line of the Satya Yuga. He is the son of Cañcubhūpa and ruled as long as his father. His son was Ruka, the father of Mahārāja Sagara. Sūta tells the line to Śaunaka.
Per Brahma Purāṇa
In the Brahma Purāṇa, Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the line of Āditya. Hariścandra, the son of Triśaṅku, performed the Rājasūya and was famed as Samrāṭ (emperor). His son was Rohita; Rohita’s son was Harita; Harita’s son was Cañcu; and Cañcu’s son was Vijaya. Vijaya conquered the whole earth, and so he was called Vijaya, “the victorious”. His son was Ruruka; Ruruka’s son was Vṛka, a king learned in dharma and artha; and Vṛka’s son was Bāhu, whose kingdom the Haihayas and the Tālajaṅghas seized, and whose son was Sagara.
