* King Pariksit married the daughter of King Uttara and begot four sons, headed by Maharaja Janamejaya.
* Maharaj Janmajeya is a very devoted, exhalted son of Maharaj Parikshit. He performed the great sarpa yajna.
* He however heard the good counsel of Brhaspati and stopped this sacrifice.
* Jaimini-bharat, book came into existence because of the discussions between Maharaj Janmajeya and Sage Jaimini.
