The Mahabharata, translated by Bibek Debroy:
“...Kuru married
Subhagi from the Dasarha region and she gave birth to Viduratha. Viduratha
married Sanpriya, daughter of Madhava and she gave birth to Arugvata. Arugvata
married Amrita from the Magadha region and she gave birth to Parikshit.
Parikshit married Bahuda’s daughter Suyasa and she gave birth to Bhimasena.
Bhimasena married Sukumari of the Kekaya region and she gave birth to
Paryashrava, also known as Pratipa. Pratipa married Shibi’s daughter Sunanda
and through her had sons named Devapi, Shantanu and Bahlika.
‘Devapi retired to the forest when he was still a child.
Shantanu then became the king. There is a saying about this. “Those who were
touched with his hands felt extreme pleasure and became young again. Therefore,
he was known as Shantanu.” Thus, he was known as Shantanu. Shantanu married
Bhagirathi Ganga and she gave birth to Devavrata, who later came to be known as
Bhishma....”
