Out of anger, out of delusion, and out of exhaustion, being afflicted with hunger, the king, fallen into (one of) the ten conditions, killed her, O Janamejaya. (10.14) Drunk, heedless, mad, weary, angry, hungry, hurried, frightened, greedy, and lustful — these are the ten. And he himself ate that meat and fed it also to the sons of Viśvāmitra; hearing that, Vasiṣṭha too became angry at him. (10.15) Angry, the venerable one spoke this word to the king's son: "I would drive an iron stake into you, cruel man, if these two stakes had not already been made for you (again)."

But Viśvāmitra, having come after the maintenance of his wives had been provided by him, the pleased sage gave a boon to that Triśaṅku; and being offered a boon, the king's son chose his teacher. (10.19) The sage was petitioned thus: "May I go to heaven with my body." When that twelve-year danger of drought had passed, the sage consecrated him in the kingdom and had him perform sacrifice; the sage had him sacrifice, having consecrated him in his father's kingdom. And while the gods and Vasiṣṭha looked on, the Kauśika (10.20) — then the mighty one raised him up to heaven with his body; the greatly austere one made him ascend to heaven with his body. His wife named Satyarathā, born of the Kekaya line, bore a son, the faultless Hariścandra.

Hariścandra's son was renowned by the name Rohita, by whom this city of Rohita was built for the securing of the kingdom. Having exercised kingship and thus protected the people, that royal sage, knowing the worthlessness of worldly existence, gave that city to the brahmins. Then Harita (was son) of Rohita; Cañcu is called Hārīta. Vijaya and Sudeva were the two sons of Cañcu. Being the conqueror of the whole warrior class, he is therefore remembered as Vijaya. His son was Ruruka, skilled in the duties and aims of kings; from him Harita was born, likewise righteous in the world. Rohita's son was Vṛka, and from Vṛka was born Bāhu. (10.23) Together with the Śakas, Yavanas, Kāmbojas, Pāradas and Pahlavas, the Hehayas and Tālajaṅghas expelled that king; he was not excessively righteous, dear one, for he lived in the age of dharma.

And the Khaśas, the Ṣāras, the Cīnas, the Madras, and likewise the Kiṣkandhakas, and the Kauntalas, and so the Vaṅgas, the Śālvas, and the Kauṅkaṇakas as well. That king, victorious by dharma, having conquered this earth, consecrated for a horse-sacrifice, set a horse roaming.

As he was letting (the horse) roam, that horse was carried off near the shore in the south-eastern sea and was made to enter the earth. Purandara (Indra) stole the horse, the sacrificial animal that had been released at his sacrifice; having stolen it, he tied it up beside Kapila and went back again to the city. The proud sons of Sumati, carrying out their father's command — those sixty thousand — were intent on guarding the horse; and then the king had that region dug up by his sons.

Searching for the horse, they dug up the earth on all sides; in the north-eastern quarter they saw the horse near Kapila. "Here sits the horse-thief, the robber, with his eyes closed! Kill him, kill the wicked one!" — so the sixty thousand struck him with blows of their fists, and then the sage opened his eyes — (he who is) the creator of all beings, and Nārāyaṇa to be attained. Having gone near him, saying "This is the thief! Let him be seized, let him be slain, this very evil-minded stealer of our horse!" — then, raising a noose to seize him of great splendour, all the sons of Sagara advanced, driven by Time; all the Sāgaras saw him and, weapons in hand, fled from him. By the fiery power that arose from the eye of him as he awoke, all were burnt, O great king, and only four were left over.

Barhaketu and Suketu, and likewise King Bhāradratha, and the valiant Pañcajana — these were the kings who continued his line. Then, having appointed Aṃśumān, a worthy vessel, unfailing, for the sake of the horse, he remained standing there consecrated, waiting. Going along the path of the fathers, he beheld the lord Hari; bowing with his head to that god, he stood in an attitude of submission. And the Lord Hari Nārāyaṇa granted him a boon: an imperishable line for Ikṣvāku, and fame that does not turn back. Then that lord god, having given (that), also gave the horse as a boon; and to Sagara, O great king, the mighty one (gave) a son, and the ocean, and likewise an imperishable dwelling in heaven, and imperishable worlds for the sons of his who were slain by his eye. And the Ocean, taking an offering of water, saluted that lord of the earth; and by that deed of his he obtained (the name) 'sāgara' (ocean).

Kṣemadhanvā's son was the majestic Devānīka; the lord named Ahīnagu was Devānīka's son. Devānīka's heir was the majestic Ahīnaga, and Ahīnagu's heir was the prince named Sahasvān. (10.77) And Sudhanvan's son — thence, O king, was born Nala; and Nala's son was the righteous one named Uktha. His son, of the great-souled Uktha, was Vajranābha; the greatly renowned Pāriyātra, and Nala was his son. His son was the learned Śaṅkha, known as Dhyuṣitāśva; Dhyuṣitāśva's son was the learned king Viśvasaha, it is said. Hiraṇyanābha of Kośala, most devoted to brahman, was his son; his son was the learned Puṣpa, and his son Arthasiddhi. His son was Sudarśana, and from Sudarśana Agnivarṇa; Agnivarṇa's son was Śīghra, and Śīghra's son Maru. Maru, taking to yoga, settled in Kalāpa island. His — the renowned one's — son was king Bṛhadbala. Maru's son was Prasusruta, and his son Susaṃdhi; Susaṃdhi's son was Marṣa, Sahasra by name. Sahasra's son was the king called Viśrutavān. Only two Nalas are famed in the Purāṇa, O bull of the Bharatas: the son of Vīrasena, and he who upheld the Ikṣvāku line.
