Sagara-vaṃśa-prasavaḥ: The Birth of Sagara’s Sons and the Bhāgīratha Lineage
अंबरीषस्तु नाभागिस्सिंधुद्वीपस्ततोऽभवत् । अयुताजित्तु दायादस्सिंधुद्वीपस्य वीर्यवान्
aṃbarīṣastu nābhāgissiṃdhudvīpastato'bhavat | ayutājittu dāyādassiṃdhudvīpasya vīryavān
नाभाग से अंबरीश पैदा हुआ। उससे सिंधुद्वीप हुआ। सिंधुद्वीप के बाद अयुताजित आया जो बहुत बहादुर था।
