Vṛka (son of Ruruka)

Vṛka

Vṛka is a king of the line of Ikshvāku, learned in dharma and artha, the son of Ruruka and the father of Bāhu. He is not Vṛka, the son of Śrī Kṛshṇa.

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis the solar line after Hariścandra, who performed the Rājasūya and won fame as Samrāṭ. Hariścandra’s son was Rohita; his son Harita; Harita’s son Cañcu; Cañcu’s son Vijaya, who conquered the earth. Vijaya’s son was Ruruka. Ruruka’s son was Vṛka, a king learned in dharma and artha. Vṛka’s son was Bāhu, whose kingdom the Haihayas, the Tālajaṅghas and the Śakas later took, and Bāhu’s son was Sagara.
