fall being a well-known example (see id., xiii. 601) ; and lie is made 
a contemporary of Rtu-parna or Rta-parna king of Ayodhya, who is 
placed about 54 generations above the Panda vas’ time in the genealogy 
in the Hari-vair^a (xv. 814 30) ; and Damayantl’s father Bhlma is 
placed about 25 generations prior to that era in the same book (xxxvii. 
1989-xxxviii). This allusion to Cedi bears out the remarks made in 
the third previous paragraph that Cedi was a flourishing land before 
Vasu’s time, and that he must have entered it by conquest. I am not 
aware of any passage in the Malia- bharata which connects Mani-pura 
and king Citra-vahana father of Citraijgada with Cedi or Chattisgarh; 
rather, it is strongly suggested that Mani-pura was on the eastern sea- 
coast south of Kaligga (Adi-p., ccxv. 7823-4). 
Note —Since writing the above I have found some genealogical information 
regarding the Cedi kings in the Matsya Purana. Cedi is derived from an epony¬ 
mous king Cidi, grandson of Vidarbha, who it is said founded the kingdom of 
Vidarbha, and great grandson of Jyamagha who conquered and reigned over the 
country along the Narmada and the Rksa Mts. (xliv. 28-38). These kings were 
descended from Krostu, son of Yadu, while the Haihayas were the descendants of 
Haihaya, grandson of Yadu’s son Sahasra-ji (xliii. 4-7 ; and xliv. 14). 
The 50th canto contains the genealogy of Yasu Upari-cara. He is said to be 
fourth in descent from king Kuru, son of Samvarana, of the Paurava race (20-26), 
and is placed 14 reigns anterior to the Pandavas (20-23, and 34—50) and is made the 
ninth ancestor of their contemporary Jarasandha (26—32). 
These statements indicate that the kingdom of Cedi was founded as an offshoot 
from the sonth by the Yadavas of Vidarbha ; and after it had lasted through some 
20 or 25 reigns, Yasu Upari-cara, the Paurava-kaurava, from the north invaded and 
conquered the country and established his own dynasty in it.
