## Chapter Sixty-Six: Lineage and History
**The Reign of Jaratkumara**
When Jaratkumara, the king who subdued all other kings and ruled with an iron fist, ascended the throne, the people showered him with respect and joy filled the land. [1]
The daughter of the Kalinga king was the chief queen of Jaratkumara. She gave birth to a son named Vasudhvaja, who brought happiness to the world and was the flag of the royal lineage. [2]
Jaratkumara, the leader of the Hari-Vansha lineage, entrusted the kingdom to his son and went to the forest to engage in intense penance, a practice befitting the lineage of the righteous. [3]
Vasudhvaja, like the moon, brought joy to his people. He had a son named Suvasu, who was as wealthy as Kubera. Suvasu's son, Bhimavarma, became the protector of Kalinga, and many kings followed in his lineage. [4]
Kapiṣṭa, an ornament of the lineage, was born to Suvasu. His son was Ajātaśatru, followed by Śatruseṇa, Jitāri, and finally, Jitśatru. [5]
O King Śreṇika, do you not know Jitśatru, the husband of the younger sister of Lord Mahāvīra's father, King Siddārtha? He is renowned for his prowess and has conquered countless enemies. [6]
When the birth anniversary of Lord Mahāvīra was celebrated, Jitśatru visited Kuṇḍapura. King Siddārtha of Kuṇḍapura, a man of unparalleled valor, received his dear friend with great honor. [7]
Jitśatru's wife, Yaśodā, gave birth to a virtuous daughter named Yaśodā. Accompanied by many other women, she set out to fulfill her lofty aspirations. [8]
