CHAPTER V
ORIGIN AND GENEALOGY OF VARIOUS VAMSAS
The PCV after narrating the biography of Lord R峁�abha and the
origin of the 'Br膩hma峁嘺s' deals with the origin of various Vamsas and
their genealogical lists. In the following lines an attempt has been
made to see how far it stands in agreement or at variation with the
Brahmanical tradition
The fifth chapter of the PCV refers to four great Vamsas (catt膩ri
mah膩va峁僺膩 5.1), viz. Ikkh膩ga (Ik峁�v膩ku), Soma, Vijj膩hara (Vidy膩dhara)
and Hari. The origin of the first three is given in the same chapter
while that of the fourth one is dealt with in the twenty-first chapter
just hefore narrating the life of Munisuvratan膩tha. Two more Vamsas
R膩k峁�asa and V膩nara are treated of in the fifth and the sixth chapter
while narrating the life of R膩va峁嘺.

It is mentioned in the PCV that the (5.3-9) Ik峁�v膩ku, the Soma
(5.10-11) and the Vidy膩dhara (3.144-161) Va峁兣沘s originated during
the congregation of Lord R峁�abha, the first Tirthankara. The R膩k峁�asa
Vamsa (5.77, 122,251) came into vogue during the era of Lord Ajita,
the second Tirthankara. The Hari Vamsa (21.2-10) came into existence
during the Tirtha of Sitala, the tenth Tirthankara and the V膩nara
Vamsa (6.90) was established during the period intervening 艢rey膩峁僺a
and V膩sup奴jya, the eleventh and the twelfth T墨rthankaras respectively.
1. Ik峁�v膩ku Va峁兣沘 :
According to the PCV the Ik峁�v膩ku Vamsa originated with
Adityaya艣a (膧iccajas膩isambhavo va峁僺o 5.9), the first son of Cakravartin
Bharata and grandson of the first Tirthankara, 峁氠梗abha.
The PCR agrees with the PCV and calls it as Aditya Va峁兣沘 also
(5.2-10). The HVPJ also agrees with it ( 13.1-12 ). Hemacandra
mentions R峁�abha
as
belonging
to
the
Ik峁�v膩ku line
(TSP,
vol. IV, page 182). According to the PHV (p. 161) R峁�abha's
Vansa was named Ik峁�av膩ku because he desired to take sugar-cane (ikkhu)
