Āyuṣmān (आयुष्मान्).—Kaśyapa, son of Marīci, got two sons, Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu and a daughter Siṃhikā, of his wife Diti. Siṃhikā became the wife of Vipracitti. Of her were born the celebrated asuras, Saiṃhikeyas, of which Rāhu was one. Hiraṇyakaśipu had four brave sons, Anuvrāta, Vrāta, Prahlāda and Saṃhrāda. Of these Vrāta got a son Vrata, Saṃhrāda got Āyuṣmān, Śibi, and Bāṣkala and Prahlāda got a son, Virocana. Mahābali was the son of Virocana. (Chapter 19, Agni Purāṇa).
