I'm glad that you found personal meaning in this

Am working on a novel that's a fictionalisation of the years from Vasishtha and Marici to some five hundred years before Ram. Hope that finds its way to the shelves soon.

There are different lineages in the different Puranas, with the number of generations somewhat different at times.

By a more accurate count, one which cross-examines all the genealogies, Ram was somewhere around the 23rd generation in his line.

Dear Bharateyyal,

This is Vedic knowledge, available to all without discrimination or ownership. I simply collated information in an easy to read format.

Please feel free to use this in any way you like, even without giving credit to me if you want.

Also look into the maps and other family trees I have made, at this link:

Hi,

Every Purana has a tradition of narrating the genealogies of Kings. It is an essential component in any Purana's structure. Also, the genealogy in Garuda Purana will differ from that in the Vishnu Purana. The genealogy in the Varuna Purana will be different from that in the Bhavishya Purana. Some differences will be big and some will be small. So essentially you cannot really find one true source with the "correct" genealogy.

For this image, I have used ONLY the Srimad Bhagvat Purana as reference. However, if you want a more comprehensive comparison of all the genealogies then I strongly suggest you purchase "Ancient Indian Dynasties" by V.S. Mishra by Motilal Banarsidass Publishers. VS Mishra compares the genealogies in ALL the Puranas, ALL the Vedas and also Ramayana and Mahabharat to come up with one, single definitive genealogy of all the tribes and Kings.

As for the novel, Bharat Palimpsestl, its a novel I am working on. If you live in India, then look out for it sometime by December this year. Its a historical FICTION set between 5000 and 4000 BC in India.
