Darbhaka will be his son, and Ajaya is remembered as Darbhaka's. ⁷Nandivardhana comes of Ajaya, and Mahanandi his son after him. These ten are the Sisunagas, and for three hundred and sixty ⁸years these kings will hold the earth in the Kali age, best of the Kurus. Mahanandi's son, king, born of a sudra woman, strong, ⁹a certain Nanda, master of Mahapadma, will make an end of the kshatriyas. After him the kings will be little better than sudras, and without dharma.

¹⁰Under one umbrella, his order never crossed, Mahapadma will rule the earth, a second Bhargava. ¹¹And he will have eight sons, Sumalya at their head, who as kings will hold this earth for a hundred years. ¹²A certain brahmin will root out the nine Nandas, who will have submitted to him. When they are gone the Mauryas will hold the world in the Kali age.
