Lunar Dynasty India Chandra Vamsa of Mahabharata List

Indian legends speak of two dynasties that ruled India, Surya, Solar and Chandra Vamsa, Lunar Dynasty.

Lord Rama belonged to Ikshvaku of Surya or Lunar Dynasty while the Kauravas and Pandavas belonged to Lunar Dynasty or Chandra Vamsa.

However, Vivaswan, the father of Vaivaswatha Manu of Solar Dynasty has been identified as Surya Deva (The Sun).

Chandra is said to to be a son of Atri Maharshi, (a son of Brahma) or of the ocean (Ksheera Sagara Mathanam).

Chandra’s son Budha married Ila the daughter of Vaivaswata Manu and their son Pururavas inherited Pratishthanapura.

Both these dynasties are related.

The purans are ancient History.

While we accord recognition and respect Western History, we do not have the same attitude to Indian Puran.

So much for our English Education.

We would believe as authentic Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, think of Hercules as having existed but when we recover the skeletons purported to be that of Kadothgaja, we say it is non sense.

This despite the detailed descriptions of cities, people, Dynasties and Geographical descriptions which exist even to-day.

I have posted details of the Manu Dynasty.

Here is the Dynasty of Lord Krishna.

And this includes Lord Krishna's sons, Grandsons.
