26 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे एकसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥१-७१॥ एवं ब्रुवाणं जनकः प्रत्युवाच कृताञ्जलिः। श्रोतुमर्हसि भद्रं ते कुलं नः परिकीर्तितम् ॥१॥
In the venerable Valmiki Ramayana, in the Balakanda, the seventy-first canto. ॥1.71॥ Janaka, with folded hands, replied to him who was speaking thus: “You ought to hear, may good befall you, our lineage as it has been fully recounted.” ॥1॥
प्रदाने हि मुनिश्रेष्ठ कुलं निरवशेषतः। वक्तव्यं कुलजातेन तन्निबोध महामते ॥२॥
“At the giving, O best of sages, the lineage must indeed be recounted without omission by one born in that lineage. Understand it, O great-minded one.”
राजाभूत् त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतः स्वेन कर्मणा। निमिः परमधर्मात्मा सर्वसत्त्ववतां वरः ॥३॥
“There was a king renowned in the three worlds through his own deeds: Nimi, supremely righteous, the foremost among all living beings.”
तस्य पुत्रो मिथिर्नाम जनको मिथिपुत्रकः। प्रथमो जनको राजा जनकादप्युदावसुः ॥४॥
His son was Mithi by name, Janaka, called Mithiputraka; he was the first king Janaka. From Janaka, moreover, came Udāvasu. The transmitted form “Mithiputraka” literally allows “Mithi’s son,” though here it may also function as a name or epithet.
उदावसोस्तु धर्मात्मा जातो वै नन्दिवर्धनः। नन्दिवर्धसुतः शूरः सुकेतुर्नाम नामतः ॥५॥
From Udāvasu, however, was born the righteous-souled Nandivardhana. Nandivardhana’s son was the heroic Suketu, named Suketu. ॥5॥
