ROLE & ESSENCE
Attributes & Significance
The family chain carries the Ikshvaku line from the generation after Kakutstha toward the house of Mandhata. Preserving each intervening father and son makes the difference between ancestry and immediate parenthood clear.
Role
Anenas is a king of the solar dynasty of Ikshvaku, named in the Vishnu Purana as the son of Kakutstha and the father of Prithu.
TRADITION & MEANING
Traditions & Interpretations
Anenas is remembered chiefly through this royal genealogy. The surviving notice identifies his family position, but gives no separate account of his wars, marriages or personal weapons. His place in the dynasty is clearer than the details of his individual reign.
