of Stradhuaja Janaha122 or Brahmanical celebrity And the inclusion of the name in the list may be taken as a corollary of the Jaina representation of Janaka's line as bound to the same ancestry as that of the yādavas 123 As for Bhima, the Bıahmanical sources record three yādava hings, who bore names either beginning or ending with Bhima The first of them was Kratha-bhima 124 Another Bhima was known as Bhimatal ha125 and, was nine steps below the former This second Bhima was an older contemporary of Subāhu of Cedi, referred to before Bhimasatuata126 was the third Bhima who was father of both Andhaka and Vişnı, the traditional forefathers of the Vasudeva brothers and Kamsa Now Bhima of the Jaina list appears to be the most likely substitute of the last mentioned Brahmanical Bhima as the immediate forefather of Yadu and his descendants of the Jaina versions
The last portion of the pedigree appears in all the Puranas which deal with the life-story of Kịşna But the works show great differences and discrepancies with regard to the names of persons set forth as the immediate ancestors of Krşna and Kaisa This will be evident from the following genealogical tables based on the various Jaina versions
