Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The son of Rāmacandra was Kuśa, the son of Kuśa was Atithi, the son of Atithi was Niṣadha, and the son of Niṣadha was Nabha. The son of Nabha was Puṇḍarīka, and from Puṇḍarīka came a son named Kṣemadhanvā.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The son of Rāmacandra was Kuśa, the son of Kuśa was Atithi, the son of Atithi was Niṣadha, and the son of Niṣadha was Nabha. The son of Nabha was Puṇḍarīka, and from Puṇḍarīka came a son named Kṣemadhanvā.
The Twelfth Chapter finishes describing the dynasty from Ikṣvāku’s son Vikuksi [Note: This description starts in SB 9.6.4.] with list of the Kuśa dynasty (coming from Rāmacandra) up to Sumitra.
