Sri Vishnu Puraana, Amsha 4, Chapter 23, Shloka 13: इित एते बाह�द्रथा भूपतयः वष�सहस्रम् एकं भिव��� ॥ १३ ॥ The descendants of Bruhadratha are going to rule for one thousand years. Sri Engal Aalwaan’s Commentary: इित इित | तेषां वष�सं�ा तु कलौ �� आयु� सूचनेन िवर�था� ॥ Why is Paraasharar telling that the descendants of Bruhadratha are going to rule for 1000 years? Because, in Kaliyuga, their lifespan is limited, so in order to get virakti, detachment, this is told, that this 1000 years is a very small number. This completes Chapter 23. ॥ इित श्री िव�ु पुराणे चतुथ� अंशे त्रयोिवंशो अ�ायः ॥* ** ॥ इित श्री िव�ु पुराण �ा�ाने श्री िव�ुिच�ीये चतुथ� अंशे त्रयोिवंशो अ�ायः ॥ *॥ अथ चतुिव�शो अ�ायः ॥ Future Kings Now, Chapter 24.
