Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
The son of Citraratha (brother of Śvaphalka) was Vidūratha, the son of Vidūratha was Śūra, and his son was Bhajamāna. The son of Bhajamāna was Śini, the son of Śini was Bhoja, and the son of Bhoja was Hṛdika. Vidūratha was the son of Citraratha.
Vidūratha, Śūra, Bhajamāna, Śini, Bhoja, Hṛdika — the line moves toward the immediate generation of Kṛṣṇa's grandfather. Each name patiently brings the Lord's family one step closer.
