Genealogies-Index

This section lists various genealogies mentioned in various scriptures, especially Puraan, as they are its main part, still each Puraan gives some different description. First it should be understood well that all Vansh, be it Soorya or Chandra, have been started from Manu. Manu had 10 sons and those 10 sons had their own Vansh; still only two Vansh are main because other Vansh have extinguished at one point or the other.

SOORYA or IKSHWAAKU or RAGHU VANSH

(1) Ikshwaaku Vansh (Bhavishya Puraan) - Or Soorya Vansh in Sat Yug
Ikshwaaku Vansh and Soorya Vansh are the same, because Ikshwaaku was Vaivaswat Manu's son and Vaivaswat Manu was Soorya's (Vivaswaan) son. Its well-known kings are Maandhaataa, Trishanku, Harishchandra, Sagar, Dileep, Bhageerath, Ambareesh, Kalmaashpaad, Sudaas, Saudaas, Khatwaang, Deerghbaahu, Sudarshan.

--Raghu Vansh (Bhavishya Puraan) - Soorya Vansh is called Raghu Vansh in Tretaa Yug.
Raghu Vansh is also Soorya Vansh, but it was called Raghu Vansh in Tretaa Yug. It starts from Sudarshan's (last king of Ikshwaaku Vansh) grandson Raghu.
