TRANSLATION

From Garga came a son named Sini, and his son was Gargya. Although Gargya was a kshatriya, there came from him a generation of brahmanas. From Mahavirya came a son named Duritakshaya, whose sons were Trayyaruni, Kavi and Pushkararuni. Although these sons of Duritakshaya took birth in a dynasty of kshatriyas, they too attained the position of brahmanas. Brihatkshatra had a son named Hasti, who established the city of Hastinapura [now New Delhi].
