The Line of Turvasu

Verse 1 (vishnu.4.16.1)

पराशर उवाच । इत्येष समासतस्ते कथितः, तूर्वसोर्वंशमवधारय ।

parāśara uvāca ityeṣa samāsataste kathitaḥ, tūrvasorvaṁśamavadhāraya

Parashara said: Thus has this been told to you in brief; now learn the lineage of Turvasu.

Verse 2 (vishnu.4.16.2)

तुर्वसोर्वह्निरात्मजः, वह्नेर्गोभानुः त्रैशांबः, तस्माच्च करंधमः, तस्यापि मरुत्तः, सोऽनपत्योऽभवत् । ततश्च पौरवं दुष्यंतं पुत्रमकल्पयत् । एवं ययातिशापात्तद्वंशः पौरवं वंशमाश्रितवान् ।

turvasorvahnirātmajaḥ, vahnergobhānuḥ traiśāṁbaḥ, tasmācca karaṁdhamaḥ, tasyāpi maruttaḥ, so'napatyo'bhavat tataśca pauravaṁ duṣyaṁtaṁ putramakalpayat evaṁ yayātiśāpāttadvaṁśaḥ pauravaṁ vaṁśamāśritavān

Turvasu's son was Vahni; Vahni's son was Gobhanu, then Traishamba; from him Karandhama; his son too was Marutta. He remained without offspring, and so adopted Dushyanta, a Paurava, as his son. Thus, through Yayati's curse, that line came to take refuge in the Paurava lineage.
