कृशाश्वात् सोमदत्तोऽभूद् योऽश्वमेधैरिडस्पतिम् । इष्ट्वा पुरुषमापाग्र्यां गतिं योगेश्वराश्रिताम् ॥ ३५ ॥ सौमदत्तिस्तु सुमतिस्तत्पुत्रो जनमेजय: । एते वैशालभूपालास्तृणबिन्दोर्यशोधरा: ॥ ३६ ॥
kṛśāśvāt somadatto ’bhūd yo ’śvamedhair iḍaspatim iṣṭvā puruṣam āpāgryāṁ gatiṁ yogeśvarāśritām
The son of Kṛśāśva was Somadatta, who performed aśvamedha sacrifices and thus satisfied the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. By worshiping the Supreme Lord, he achieved the most exalted post, a residence on the planet to which great mystic yogīs are elevated. The son of Somadatta was Sumati, whose son was Janamejaya. All these kings appearing in the dynasty of Viśāla properly maintained the celebrated position of King Tṛṇabindu.
