THE LIVING ARCHIVE

About Kapotaroman

Kapotaroman belongs to the Kukkura house within the wider Yadava family. His ancestry returns through Kukkura to Andhaka, one of Satvata’s sons. This branch eventually leads to the royal households of Devaka and Ugrasena. A separate descent through Andhaka’s son Bhajamana leads toward Shura and Vasudeva, so the later families have shared distant ancestry but different immediate lines.
