ययाति हुष: सम्राडासीत् सत्यपराक्रमः। स पालयामास महीमीजे च बहुभिर्मखैः॥ अतिभक्त्या पितॄनर्चन् देवांश्च प्रयतः सदा। अन्वगृह्णात् प्रजाः सर्वा ययातिरपराजितः॥ तस्य पुत्रा महेष्वासाः सर्वैः समुदिता गुणैः। देवयान्यां महाराज शर्मिष्ठायां च जज्ञिरे॥ देवयान्यामजायेतां यदुस्तुर्वसुरेव च। द्रुह्युश्चानुश्च पूरुश्च शर्मिष्ठायां च जज्ञिरे॥
