As a result of having quit his body while remembering his wife, Puranjana took his next birth as the very beautiful daughter of the king of Vidarbha (he was well-placed due to his past pious work). After coming of age, it was arranged that Vaidarbhi would marry King Malayadhvaja of the Pandu country. (The king’s name indicates that he was a great devotee who stood as firm as the Malaya Hill. With his devotional flag unfurled, he stood fast in order to conquer all other spiritual conceptions and thus convert others to become as fixed-up in devotional service as himself.)
King Malayadhvaja begot a black-eyed (signifying that her eyes were always fixed upon Krishna) daughter through his wife, Vaidarbhi, as well as seven sons (representing the seven processes of devotional service in practice) who later on became kings of Dravida-desha. The sons of Malayadhvaja gave birth to many thousands of children, and they ruled the earth up until the end of Manu’s life and even beyond.
