Vaṃśodbhava (वंशोद्भव) refers to “belonging to a particular race”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, after Vasiṣṭha spoke to Himavat (Himācala): “On hearing the words of Vasiṣṭha, Himavat, with a dejected heart but laughing outwardly asked him about the details of the story of the king. Himavat said:—‘O Brahmin, what is the race to which the king Anaraṇya belonged (vaṃśodbhava)? How did he save his assets by giving his daughter?’ Brahmā said:—‘On hearing these words of the mountain, Vasiṣṭha became glad and told him the details of the interesting story of the king’”.
