Genealogies from Yayāti’s Sons to the Yadu Dynasty; Romapāda–Ṛṣyaśṛṅga; Kārtavīryārjuna; and the Rise of Yādava Branches
त्रिभानुस्तत्सुतोऽस्यापि करन्धम उदारधी: । मरुतस्तत्सुतोऽपुत्र: पुत्रं पौरवमन्वभूत् ॥ १७ ॥
tribhānus tat-suto ’syāpi karandhama udāra-dhīḥ marutas tat-suto ’putraḥ putraṁ pauravam anvabhūt
El hijo de Bhānumān fue Tribhānu, y su hijo fue el magnánimo Karandhama. El hijo de Karandhama fue Maruta; al no tener hijos, adoptó como suyo a un hijo de la dinastía de Pūru (Duṣmanta).
It states the succession Tribhānu → Karandhama → Maruta, and notes that although Maruta was without a son, he nevertheless obtained a son within the Paurava (Puru-descended) line.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates these dynastic details to Mahārāja Parīkṣit as part of the history of Yayāti’s descendants and the Paurava line.
It highlights continuity of dharmic responsibility across generations—legacy is not only biological but also tied to duty, character, and the preservation of righteous culture.
