Texto

My dear King Parikshit, Agnimitra will follow as king, and then Sujyeshtha. Sujyeshtha will be followed by Vasumitra, Bhadraka, and the son of Bhadraka, Pulinda. Then the son of Pulinda, named Ghosha, will rule, followed by Vajramitra, Bhagavata and Devabhuti. In this way, O most eminent of the Kuru heroes, ten Sunga kings will rule over the earth for more than one hundred years. Then the earth will come under the subjugation of the kings of the Kanva dynasty, who will manifest very few good qualities.

Significado

According to Srila Sridhara Svami, the Sunga dynasty began when General Pushpamitra killed his king, Brihadratha, and assumed power. After Pushpamitra came Agnimitra and the rest of the Sunga dynasty, which lasted for 112 years.
