Synonyms

evam—in this way (some sons having been cursed and some blessed); kauśika-gotram—the dynasty of Kauśika; tu—indeed; viśvāmitraiḥ—by the sons of Viśvāmitra; pṛthak-vidham—in different varieties; pravara-antaram—differences between one another; āpannam—obtained; tat—that; hi—indeed; ca—also; evam—thus; prakalpitam—ascertained..

Translation

Viśvāmitra cursed some of his sons and blessed the others, and he also adopted a son. Thus there were varieties in the Kauśika dynasty, but among all the sons, Devarāta was considered the eldest.
