These thirty kings of the Andhra dynasty shall rule the earth
for 456 years. Seven Abhiras, kings of Avabhriti, ten Gardabhins
(men of Gardabha) and sixteen Kankas shall then be the rulers.
They shall be followed by 8 Yavanas, 14 Turushkas and ten
Surundas. These 65 kings shall reign for one thousand and ninety
nine years. Eleven Moulas shall then be the kings for 300 years.
Bhuta-Nanda, Bangiri, Sisunandi and Yaso-Nandi shall then
become kings. Their sons, all known as Bahlikas, shall succeed them.
Then Pushpamitra shall be the king, then his son Durmitra. Seven
Andhras, seven Kosalas, Vidurapatis and Nishadhas shall then become
kings, at one and the same time, over the lands of these names. They
shall be the descendants of the Bahlikas.
Visvasphurji, otherwise called Puranjaya, shall be the king of
the Magadhas. He shall make havoc of the caste system. His
chief town shall be Padmavati (Modern Patna) but his kingdom shall
extend from Hardwar to Pryag.
Then there shall be Sudra and Mlechcha kings.
[THOUGHTS ON THE VAIVASVATA MANVANTARA.]
The study of the Vaivasvata Manvantara can be pursued, as
to minor details, from more fhan one stand-point. But I am at pre-
sent concerned with only the broad outlines of its esoteric aspect.
We are to understand, in the first place, that there are certain
types of human races in this as in other Manvantaras. Each of
these types has a history of its own. Each has its stages of growth,
rise and decline, and some have their periods of revival in this
Manvantara as well. Each racial type has to be studied separately.
The connection of the races with the Sun and the Moon re-
quires a little consideration.
Those who are acquanted with Hindu astrology know that
the life time of a man is divided into certain divisions, each division
being under the influence of one planet. Each planetary period
again has its sub-divisions, in each of which there is a secondary run
of the planets.
According to the Bengal School, the main planetary run takes
108 years for its completion, and according to another school, it takes
120 years.
