IN THE TRADITION

Recorded Context

Family and Wider Context

Jyamagha’s story begins with his childless marriage to Shaivya. After a victory, he brings a young woman home and calls her their daughter-in-law, though they have no son. The promise becomes fulfilled when Shaivya gives birth to Vidarbha. Vidarbha later marries the woman and has Kratha, Kaishika and Romapada, producing several royal branches.

ROLE & ESSENCE

Attributes & Significance

Paravrit stands at the point where the genealogy prepares for that detailed household episode. He is the father of its central king and the grandfather of Vidarbha; the events do not belong to Paravrit and Shaivya as a married pair.

Role

Paravrit is a Yadava king, the son of Rukmakavacha and the father of five named sons. Jyamagha, one of those sons, becomes the father of Vidarbha and the focus of the next royal-family narrative.

TRADITION & MEANING

Traditions & Interpretations

The succession continues through Jyamagha, one of Paravrit’s five named sons. His brothers Rukmeshu, Prithurukman, Palita and Harita remain part of the same household even though the following narrative concentrates on Jyamagha and Shaivya.
