Having investigated the line from Ikshwaku to Rama, and that from Budha (the parent and first emigrant of the Indu[2.5.1] race, from Saka Dwipa, or Scythia, to Hindustan) to Krishna and Yudhishthira, a period of twelve hundred years, we proceed to the second division and second table of the genealogies. =The Suryavansa or Solar Line.=—From Rama all the tribes termed Suryavansa, or ‘Race of the Sun,’ claim descent, as the present princes of Mewar, Jaipur, Marwar, Bikaner, and their numerous clans; while from the Lunar (Indu) line of Budha and Krishna, the families of Jaisalmer and Cutch (the Bhatti[2.5.2] and Jareja races), extending throughout the Indian desert from the Sutlej to the ocean, deduce their pedigrees. Rama preceded Krishna: but as their historians, Valmiki and Vyasa, who wrote the events they witnessed, were contemporaries, it could not have been by many years [46]. The present table contains the dynasties which succeeded these great beacons of the Solar and Lunar races, and are three in number.[2.5.3] 1. The Suryavansa, descendants of Rama. 2. The Induvansa, descendants of Pandu through Yudhishthira. 3. The Induvansa, descendants of Jarasandha, monarch of Rajagriha. The Bhagavat and Agni Puranas are the authorities for the lines from Rama and Jarasandha; while that of Pandu is from the Raja Tarangini and Rajavali. The existing Rajput tribes of the Solar race claim descent from Lava and Kusa, the two elder sons of Rama; nor do I believe any existing tribes trace their ancestry to his other children, or to his brothers. From the eldest son, Lava, the Ranas of Mewar claim descent: so do the Bargujar tribe, formerly powerful within the confines of the present Amber, whose representative now dwells at Anupshahr on the Ganges. From Kusa descend the Kachhwaha[2.5.4] princes of Narwar and Amber, and their numerous clans. Amber, though the first in power, is but a scion of Narwar, transplanted about one thousand years back, whose chief, the representative of the celebrated Prince Nala, enjoys but a sorry district[2.5.5] of all his ancient possessions. The house of Marwar also claims descent from this stem, which appears to originate in an error of the genealogists, confounding the race of Kusa with the Kausika of Kanauj and Kausambi. Nor do the Solar genealogists admit this assumed pedigree. The Amber prince in his genealogies traces the descent of the Mewar[2.5.6] family from Rama to Sumitra, through Lava, the eldest brother, and not through Kusa,[2.5.7] as in some copies of the Puranas, and in that whence Sir William Jones had his lists [47].
