102 -INDIA AS DESCRIBED IN EARLY TEXTS
first child of their mother Devagabbhå (Devaki) was a daughter named Añjanādevi. Devagabbhā is represented as the sister of king Kamsa whom the Jätaka connects with Kamsabhoga instead of Madhurā. The ten brothers who grew up as powerful wrestlers and valiant warriors became ambitious to establish their paramount 80vereignty over the whole of Jambudvīpa. The first kingdom they seized was that of Uttaramadhurā. Next they directed their attention to Kamsabhoga. After making themselves masters of Kamsabhoga, and gradually defeating and killing the kings of sixty-three thousand realms, they began to reign in the city of Dyäravatī or Dvārakā which stood on the sea and had a hill by its side. They divided their empire into ten dominions that were allotted to the ten brothers, the youngest brother parting with his share in favour of their sister Añjanādevī. The sons of the ten brothers perished by the curse of the sage Kanhadīpāyana whom they had insulted and killed, and they themselves met with a tragio end, the account of which is in substance the same as that given in the Mauşalaparva of the Great Epic. But according to the Mahāummagga Jātaka, Vāsudeva's son, Sivi, by a Candāla woman, named Jambāvati, continued to reign in Dväravati."
