Posterity
After the slaying of Kamsa by Krishna and the consequent release of Vasudeva and Devaki from prison, Rohini was blessed with the birth of another child, a daughter named Subhadra. This daughter married her first cousin Arjuna, the Pandava, who was a nephew of Vasudeva. Subhadra and Arjuna were the parents of Abhimanyu; thus, Rohini Devi was the ancestress of every subsequent monarch from the "Kuru" dynasty.

Famous quotes containing the word posterity:
“Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;—and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
