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)
“To avoid the consequences of posterity the mulattos give the blacks a first class letting alone. There is a frantic stampede white-ward to escape from Jamaica’s black mass.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
