The Yadu–Vṛṣṇi–Andhaka Genealogies and the Purpose of Kṛṣṇa’s Advent
वृष्णे: सुमित्र: पुत्रोऽभूद् युधाजिच्च परन्तप । शिनिस्तस्यानमित्रश्च निघ्नोऽभूदनमित्रत: ॥ १२ ॥
vṛṣṇeḥ sumitraḥ putro ’bhūd yudhājic ca parantapa śinis tasyānamitraś ca nighno ’bhūd anamitrataḥ
噢,能制伏仇敌的帕利克希特王啊!弗里什尼(Vṛṣṇi)之子为苏密特拉(Sumitra)与尤达吉特(Yudhājit)。由尤达吉特生出希尼(Śini)与阿那密特拉(Anamitra);由阿那密特拉又生一子,名尼格那(Nighna)。
They are descendants in the Vṛṣṇi branch of the Yadu dynasty—Sumitra is stated as Vṛṣṇi’s son, and Yudhājit is also mentioned in this lineage list as a notable descendant.
He traces the dynasties leading to Lord Krishna’s appearance, showing how Krishna’s earthly pastimes unfold within sacred royal lineages described in the Bhagavata Purana.
They anchor Krishna-lila in historical sacred tradition, strengthen faith in the Bhagavata narrative, and help devotees remember Krishna’s associates and family lines with reverence.
