The Hari-Dynasty
179
recruit from the Brahmanical tradition As to Sūravira, the term represents a combined form of Sūra of JHV and Vira of the VH Another peculiarity of the present version is marked by the transformation of Vșşnı, the final component of Andhakavşşnı into Vīşlı as well as the substitution of Bhogaopşni or Bhojakavīşnı by a new name Naraorşti, which in all probabılıty is a combined form of the first part of Narapatz135 of JHV and the transformed form of Vįsni
Thus, in contradistinction with the canonical sources as also quite contrary to the majority of the purānic versions, the work in question deprives Ugrasena and Kamsa of thc title Bhoja or Bhoga, sor, as is evident from the pedigree, it does not include any Bhoja among Ugrasena's ancestors Thus the genealogical portion of the UP seems utterly arbitrary and fanciful Moreover, its accounts also suffer from self-contradiction inasmuch as despite the present representation of Ugrasena as a scion of the Har dynasty, the work has, elsewhere, assigned him to the Ugral36 family, which, again, is treated as an offshoot of the Kuru dynasty 137
Subhacandra, on the other hand, has evidently worked out a somewhat different pedigree which may be taken as a blend of the elements derived from the previous lists Thus, the name Vira is obviously in kceping with that in the VH138 list But the term Bhojal aurştı presents an interesting case, for the first part of the name is in essential agreement with that in JHV list, while the final parts of it and Andhakavrşfi are like those of the corresponding names in the UP list The name of the father of Andhahavrştı, on the other hand, is the same as that of Andhakavrsni's father in JHV version.
As is evident from the above lists, the UP, PMP and SPP do not mention Yadu among the ancestors of the later Harus, yet tl csc works implicitly acknowledge him as their forefather
136 This form 13 preserved in the Naravaloilth (Narapalıorsli) of PMP
