Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Anu, the fourth son of Yayāti, had three sons, named Sabhānara, Cakṣu and Pareṣṇu. O King, from Sabhānara came a son named Kālanara, and from Kālanara came a son named Sṛñjaya. The Twenty-third Chapter describes the dynasties of Anu, Druhya, Turasu and Yadu, ending with Jyāmagha, and describes the glory of Kārtavīryārjuna. Having described the dynasty of Pūru, the fifth son of Yayāti (through Śarmiṣṭhā), the dynasties from the other four sons are now described.

Personal Guidance
Anu has Sabhānara, Cakṣu, Pareṣṇu; from Sabhānara come Kālanara and Sṛṣjaya. The Bhāgavatam now turns to Yayāti's fourth son's line — each son's branch deserves its own paragraph.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose 'fourth son's branch' in my family have I been ignoring as less important?
  • Where could equal attention to all branches enrich my understanding of my lineage?
