VISHNU PURANA NOUN

vp.4.2

[paragraph continues] Ambarisha 4; his son was Virupa 5; his son was Prishadaswa; his son was Rathinara, of whom it is sung, "These, who were Kshatriyas by birth, the heads of the family of Rathinara, were called angirasas (or sons of Angiras), and were Brahmans as well as Kshatriyas 6."

vp.4.3

Purukutsa had a son by Narmada named Trasadasyu, whose son was Sambhuta 5, whose son was Anaranya, who was slain, by Ravana in his triumphant progress through the nations. The son of Anaranya was Prishadaswa; his son was Haryyaswa; his son was Sumanas 6; his son was Tridhanwan; his son was Trayyaruna; and his son was Satyavrata, who obtained the appellation of Trisanku, and was degraded to the condition of a Chandala, or outcast 7. During a twelve years famine Trisanku provided the flesh of deer for the nourishment of the wife and children of Viswamitra, suspending it upon a spreading fig tree on the borders of the Ganges, that he might not subject them to the indignity of receiving presents from an outcast. On this account Viswamitra, being highly pleased with him, elevated him in his living body to heaven 8.
