Janmajeya asked what happened to the sons of Yayati? What happened to Puru?
The sage said, from Yadu were born the Yadavas, Tuvravasu's dynasty was that of the Yavana.
Druhyu's dynasty was the Bhoja dynasty. Anu's dynasty was that of the Mlechhas.
Paurava was the son of Puru, in whose dynasty the Pandavas and Kauravas were born.
Puru's had three sons, of whom the eldest succeded him. In the dynasty of Puru was born Dushyanta who married Shakuntala.
One of the sons in the dynasty was called Hasti in whose name was formed the kingdom of Hastinapur.
In his clan, one of the kings married, Tapati, daughter of the sun. Tapati's son was Kuru in whose name was named the place, Kurukshetra.
In this dynasty was born Shantanu, whose son was Bhishma. He married Satyawati and had two more sons - Chitrangad and Vichitravirya. Chitrangad was killed by a Gandharva. With the blessings of Vyasa, Vichitravirya had three sons - Dhritarashtra, Pandu and Vidura.
Dhritrarashtra had a hundred sons. Pandu became king and had five sons. Arjuna was one of them, whose son was Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu's son was Parikshit, whose son is you, Janmajeya.
Janmajeya said, what you told me, is very brief. Please give me the details. How did Ganga, who is supposed to be a part of Vishnu, become a wife of Shantanu?
