Within Hinduism, his account is given within a number of existing texts such as the Mahābhārata, the Devi Bhagavatam and the Bhagavata Purana. ==Lineage== Kakudmi was a descendant of the Sun Dynasty (''Suryavansha''), a dynasty originating from Surya, the Hindu deity of the Sun. Surya's son was the deity Vaivasvata Manu. Vaivasvata Manu had one powerful son named Ikshvaku. Ikshvaku founded and spread the Sun (or Solar) dynasty. He was celebrated for his accomplishments in battle and his competence and benevolence. Ikshvaku had one hundred sons of whom Vikuksi was the eldest. Vikuksi had many sons of whom S'aryâti was one. King S'aryâti had three sons, namely Uttânabarhi, Ânarta and Bhûrishena. Ânarta's eldest son was Revata. King Revata constructed the city of Kusasthali and ruled from there. Kusasthali grew to became a prosperous and advanced kingdom. From Kusasthali, he also ruled over large tracts of land, including Anarta kingdom which was named after his father.
