Vṛshadarbha (Son of Śibi)

Vṛshadarbha

Vṛshadarbha is one of the four sons of Śibi, lord of the Auśīnaras, and the land of the Vṛshadarbhas is named after him.

In the line of Uśīnara

Sūta tells the munis the line of Pūru. In the line of Kaksheyu, Uśīnara had five wives of rājarshi families, and in his old age, by the power of tapas (austerity), he had five sons by them; by Dṛshadvatī he had Śibi, lord of the Auśīnaras. Śibi’s four sons were Vṛshadarbha, Suvīra, Kekaya and Madraka. Their lands, prosperous in every season, became famous as the Kekayas, the Madrakas, the Vṛshadarbhas and the Suvīras.
