Who is the king of the Suryavansh and the king of the Chandravansh ?

 Suryavansh  


             According to 'Brahmapuran' and 'Vishnupuran', Brahma originated from the navel of Lord Vishnu in ancient times. Brahma commenced creation at the behest of Lord Vishnu and was born "Maharshi Marichi from the mind" (one of the Saptarshis). Marichi married "Kardam Rishi's daughter Kala" and their son became known as 'Maharshi Kashyap'.

Maharshi Kashyap was married to Daksharaj's 17 daughters and in the womb of his first wife Aditi was born 'Bivasvan (Sun God)'.


               Surya Dev had seven sons and four daughters, of whom 'Vaibaswat Manu' was the eldest. Vaibasvat Manu is the first human being of 'Seventh Manvantar' and after his name this Manvantar is called 'Vaibasvat Manvantar'. We are now living in the "28th Kali Yuga" of this glorious transformation.


Vaibaswat Manu's son is 'Ikshvaku'. Iksvaku established his capital in 'Ayodhya' and his dynasty was named 'Suryavansh' This Ikshakur has a son named 'Kukshi'.


After seven men of Kukshi became a king named 'Sravasti' and he established a kingdom called Sravasti. Sravasti's son is 'Brhadashva'.


After the eight men of Brihadashva, the king became 'Yuvanashva'. Yubanashva's son is 'Mandhata'. This King was born only from his father's body. After Mandhata, his son 'Muchukanda' ascended the throne.


After five men of Muchukanda, 'Raja Satyabrata' ascended the throne, which later became known as 'Adividrohi Trishanku'. Maharaja 'Harishchandra' became the son of Trishanku. He became famous by donating everything to 'Maharshi Bishwamitra'. Harishchandra's son became 'Rohitashwa' and Rohitashwa's son became 'Harit'.


After Harit's five men, 'Bahuk' ascended the throne. Bahuk's son 'Maharaja Sagar' performed Shatashvamedha Yajna. He adopted Samudra as his son and the name of the sea is 'Sagar' after him. The name of the son of 'Sagar' is 'Asmanjas'. Asmanjas' son was  'Anshuman' and Anshuman's son was 'Dilip'.


Dilip's son is 'Bhagirath'. Bhagiratha performed austerities and brought 'Goddess Ganga' to the mortal world, that is why Ganga is called 'Bhagirathi'.


After 14 men of Bhagirath, King 'Aranya' ascended the throne. Aranya died at the hands of Ravan while he was on his way to Digvijaya. He cursed Ravan at the time of his death, - "Ravan will die at the hands of the Ikshvaku clan, Lord Vishnu himself will descend into this clan and kill Ravan."


After three men of the Aranya, the majestic 'Raghu' ascended the throne and the name of the dynasty is 'Raghuvansha'.


Raghu's son was 'Aja' and Aja's son was 'Dasaratha'.


As the four sons of Dasaratha, Lord Vishnu descended in four parts - "Rama, Bharata, Lakshana and Shatrughna".


 

Chandravansh


In the beginning, Brahma originated from the navel of Lord Vishnu.


Brahma created 'Maharshi Atri' from his eye, Atri is one of the bears.


In the womb of Maharshi Atri's wife 'Anusuiya', 'Chandradev' was born and Chandra Dev had a son named 'Budh', one of the new planets Mercury.


Budh's son Maharaj 'Pururba' established 'Chandravansh' on earth.


Pururbar had sons named 'Ayu', Ayu  had sons named 'Nahush' and Nahush  had sons named 'Yayati'.


The five sons of Yayati are named - 'Yadu, Turbasu, Druhu, Anu and Puru.'


The eldest son of Yayati is established as 'Yadu dynasty' from Jadur and the youngest son is established as 'Pura dynasty' from Puru. "It was in this Yadu dynasty that Lord Krishna descended in the Dwapar era". The lineage of the other three sons of Yayati became extinct over time.


Many of his men in the Puru dynasty later became a king named 'Dushmanta', after Dushmanta his son 'Bharat' became the Chakravarti Samrat. The name of our country is 'Bharatvarsh' after this Bharata.


After many men in the dynasty of Bharata, there was a king named 'Hasti', after whom his kingdom was named 'Hastinapur'.


After the four males of the Hasti, a king named 'Kuru' was born, whose homeland was known as 'Kurukshetra' and whose dynasty was known as 'Kuruvansh'.


After seven men of Kuru became a king named 'Pratip', Pratip's son was 'Shantanu'.


Shantanu's three sons were named 'Bhishma, Chitrangada and Bichitravirya.'


Bichitravirya's two sons 'Dhritarashtra and Pandu.' From whom hundreds of Kauravas and Panchpandavas were born.
