Jayadhvaja (जयध्वज) is one of the hundred sons sons of ٲīⲹ and the grandson of ṛtīⲹ, according to the ղṃśānܳٲ section of the 10th century ܰܰṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, [...] Dhanaka’s son was ṛtīⲹ, who had three sons—ٲī�, Kṛtāgni and Kṛtavarman. Of these three, ٲīⲹ had hundred sons, amongst whom only five were very famous. They were Śūrasena and others. They worshipped Mahādeva and received boons from The Lord. But Jayadhvaja was very intelligent and was devoted to Nārāyaṇa. The progeny of Jayadhvaja are called Tālajaṃghas (Tālajaṅghas). Vitihotra was the eldest of them and they were Yadavas.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
