परिक्षितोऽभवन् पुत्राः सर्वे धर्मार्थकोविदाः। कक्षसेनोग्रसेनौ तु चित्रसेनश्च वीर्यवान्॥ इन्द्रसेनः सुषेणश्च भीमसेनश्च नामतः। जनमेजयस्य तनया भुवि ख्याता महाबलाः॥ धृतराष्ट्रः प्रथमजः पाण्डुर्बाह्नीक एव च। निषधश्च महातेजास्तथा जाम्बूनदो बली।॥ कुण्डोदरः पदातिश्च वसातिश्चाष्टमः स्मृतः। सर्वे धर्मार्थकुशलाः सर्वभूतहिते रताः॥
