TRANSLATION

O Maharaja Parikshit, for this reason Kuvalayasva is celebrated as Dhundhumara ["the killer of Dhundhu"]. All but three of his sons, however, were burned to ashes by the fire emanating from Dhundhu's mouth. The remaining sons were Dridhasva, Kapilasva and Bhadrasva. From Dridhasva came a son named Haryasva, whose son is celebrated as Nikumbha.
