PARIKSHIT

Because he looked at the Lord moving around him even before his birth, Parikshit got that name.

When Yudhishstira became old, he crowned Parikshit as emperor and departed to the other world.

Parikshit made Acharya Kripa his preceptor and ruled from Hasthinapura.

Parikshit married Iravati, and had four sons by her: Janamejaya, Srutasena, Ugrasena and Bhimasena.

It was during Parikshit's rule that Kali the evil entered the world.

It was over five thousand years ago.
