Translation

Traducción

The son of Mahīnara will be Daṇḍapāṇi, and his son will be Nimi, from whom King Kṣemaka will be born. I have now described to you the moon-god’s dynasty, which is the source of brāhmaṇas and kṣatriyas and is worshiped by demigods and great saints. In this Kali-yuga, Kṣemaka will be the last monarch. Now I shall describe to you the future of the Māgadha dynasty. Please listen.

El hijo de Mahīnara será Daṇḍapāṇi, cuyo hijo será Nimi, de quien nacerá el rey Kṣemaka. Así te he descrito la dinastía del dios de la Luna, que dio origen a brāhmaṇas y kṣatriyas y que es adorada por semidioses y grandes santos. Kṣemaka será el último monarca de este Kali-yuga. Ahora te hablaré del futuro de la dinastía Māgadha. Escucha, por favor.
