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:
“The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“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)
