PURU VAMSA KR Mr Sekar was partly correct. Mahabharatham adi parva, Smd Bhagavatham and the Matsya Puranam, speaks about the Chandra vamsam dynasty. Puru was the 5th son of Yayati, who took the old age of the father, while the other 4 sons totally refused to do so; and why did Yayati want it that way? because he had 2 wives, Deva yani D/O Sukra and Sharmistha. Yayati favoured out of love Sharmishtai; and Devayani, complained to father; in the enquiry, as Yayati went high, Sukra cursed him, to be always older; and as requested later, Sura granted one exception that he can exchange the curse with anyone to get back the original form. When Yayati requested his 5 sons to have his old age; all refused except the 5th son PURU. So later the throne was given to Puru. So: not because others were useless”. After a great chain of kings Bharatha follows at the tail end. The dynasty is shown below.
NOTE: Reg the twist in history both the British and Indian Historians, without any application of the mind, fixed THIS PURU as Purushotthaman @ PORUS of Jhelum, and fought lost against Alexander, thus, PURU was in 356 BCE and Rama was just above and Mahabharatham, Bharatha etc were in AD etc, were written. In England there may be 3 Georges, 3 Edwards etc but in India there is only one Puru and One Shankara only; it is OK, if British write; but where did the Indians pledge their brains? NOTE 2 There are comments that I should be brief as I write long. But if I simply say “no Sekar is wrong, will it suffice”? Any data shall be precise or paragraphed according to the need of the explanations. Now the dynasty List. KR IRS 4 6 23 *The Lunar Dynasty descendants* The Lunar Dynasty was started in Treta Yuga.
