Āraṇyaka Parva, Adhyāya 116: Jamadagni–Reṇukā Narrative and the Kārtavīrya Conflict
Akṛtavraṇa’s Account
ततो ज्येष्ठो जामदग्न्यो रुमण्वान् नाम नामत: । आजगाम सुषेणश्च वसुर्विश्वावसुस्तथा,इसी समय जमदग्निके ज्येष्ठ पुत्र रुमण्वान् वहाँ आ गये। फिर क्रमशः सुषेण, वसु और विश्वावसु भी आ पहुँचे
tato jyeṣṭho jāmadagnyo rumaṇvān nāma nāmataḥ | ājagāma suṣeṇaś ca vasur viśvāvāsus tathā ||
Then the eldest son of Jamadagni, named Rumaṇvān, arrived there. After him, in due order, Suṣeṇa, Vasu, and Viśvāvāsu also came.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the importance of lineage and orderly assembly: family members arrive in sequence, signaling readiness for shared responsibility. In Mahābhārata’s ethical frame, such gatherings often precede decisions where dharma is clarified through counsel, duty, and collective presence.
Akṛtavraṇa narrates that Jamadagni’s eldest son Rumaṇvān arrives first, followed by Suṣeṇa, Vasu, and Viśvāvāsu. It is a scene-setting moment indicating that Jamadagni’s sons have come together at the location of the ongoing episode.
