maruttaṃ manum ikṣvākuṃ gayaṃ bharatam eva ca rāmaṃ dāśarathiṃ caiva śaśabinduṃ bhagīratham kṛtavīryaṃ mahābhāgaṃ tathaiva janamejayam

“Sanjaya reminds Dhritarashtra of the greatly powerful men of vast exertions spoken of by Vyasa and the wise Narada, born of great royal families and versed in celestial arms, who conquered the world by justice and performed sacrifices and at last succumbed to the sway of time; twenty-four such Rajas were formerly recounted by Narada to Saivya when he was afflicted for the loss of his children.
