The Yadu–Vṛṣṇi–Andhaka Genealogies and the Purpose of Kṛṣṇa’s Advent
कपोतरोमा तस्यानु: सखा यस्य च तुम्बुरु: । अन्धकाद् दुन्दुभिस्तस्मादविद्योत: पुनर्वसु: ॥ २० ॥
kapotaromā tasyānuḥ sakhā yasya ca tumburuḥ andhakād dundubhis tasmād avidyotaḥ punarvasuḥ
毗罗摩之子名迦波多罗摩;其子为阿努,友为天鼓罗(Tumburu)。由阿努生安陀迦;由安陀迦生敦杜毗;由敦杜毗生阿毗地约多;由阿毗地约多又生子名普那尔婆苏。
This verse lists the succession Andhaka → Dundubhi → Avidyota → Punarvasu, preserving the dynastic record within the Yadu line.
Tumburu is a celebrated Gandharva; here he is noted as the friend of Kapotaromā, showing connections between royal lines and celestial musicians in Purāṇic history.
It helps devotees understand the historical and relational context of Krishna’s broader dynastic setting, strengthening śraddhā (faith) in the Purāṇic narrative and its continuity.
