Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The most prominent among the sons of Māndhātā was he who is celebrated as Ambarīṣa. Ambarīṣa was accepted as a son by his grandfather Yuvanāśva. Ambarīṣa's son was Yauvanāśva, and Yauvanāśva's son was Hārīta. In Māndhātā's dynasty, Ambarīṣa, Hārīta and Yauvanāśva were very prominent. In the Seventh Chapter Hariścandra, a descendent of Māndhātā, cheats Varuṇa out of affection for his son, and then satisfies him with a human sacrifice. Yuvanāśva, the grandfather, accepted Ambarīṣa as his son. Ambariṣa’s son was Yauvanāśva. Ambarīṣa, Yauvanāśva and Harītā were the chief descendents of Māndhātā.
