Translation
The son of Nara was Kevala, and his son was Dhundhumān, whose son was Vegavān. Vegavān's son was Budha, and Budha's son was the great king Tṛṇabindu.
Through Kevala, Dhundhumān, Vegavān, Budha, Tṛṇabindu — the line reaches a great king. Sometimes one descendant emerges who lifts the whole lineage; we cannot always predict who.
