## Chapter 13: The Lineage of Ikshvaku
**218**
Sagara, the king, was a chakravarti (universal monarch). He was the master of inexhaustible treasures and jewels, and was as famous as Bharata Chakravarti. **27**
He had sixty thousand sons, all of whom were descendants of Adgu. These sons were all endowed with extraordinary abilities and were filled with great joy for each other. **28**
Once, all the brothers went to Mount Kailasa. There, they built eight platforms and began to dig the earth with a vajra (thunderbolt). However, the Naga king, angered by their actions, turned them all to ashes. **29**
Sagara, the chakravarti, was a knower of the state of the world. Therefore, he renounced his grief over his sons and took initiation from Ajitanatha Bhagwan. He was freed from the bonds of karma and attained liberation. **30**
After Ajitanatha, came Sambhavanatha, followed by Abhinandanatha, then Sumatinatha, then Padma Prabhu, then Suparshvanatha, then Chandra Prabhu, then Pushpadanta, and finally Shitalanatha. **31-32**
Gautama Swami said to King Shrenik, "O Shrenik! The Ikshvaku dynasty was the first to arise. From the Ikshvaku dynasty, the Surya dynasty and the Chandra dynasty were born. At the same time, the Kuru dynasty, the Ugra dynasty, and many other dynasties flourished. In the beginning, there were no rishis (sages) on the earth, but later, many rishis arose after taking initiation from Bhagwan Rishabhadeva. Their noble Shri dynasty flourished. Thus, I have described to you the lineages of many kings and vidyadharas (celestial beings). **33**
Now, during the time of Shitalanatha Bhagwan's pure and radiant tenth tirthankara (liberated soul), when the world was illuminated by the lamp of pure knowledge, and when Indra and the gods were coming into the world, the lineage of the Haris, who were endowed with great power, manifested. I will describe that lineage as well. O King! Listen to the true account of this lineage in the path of the Jinas. **34**
Thus ends the thirteenth chapter of the Harivansha Purana, composed by Jinasena Acharya, which contains the lineage of Ikshvaku, and is part of the collection of the Arishtanemi Purana. **13**
