       [This Rituparn was the friend of Raajaa Nal and he taught him how to throw dice and learnt the knowledge of horses in return of that.
        see also Genealogies, 5]

Note
If he is the same Rituparn who was the friend of Nal then according to Mahaabhaarat his father's name was Bhangaasur. I am really confused as the names ending with "aasur" are normally of Daitya, eg Bhasmaasur, Narakaasur, Andhakaasur etc. How come that Rituparn's father's name was Bhangaasur - read Nal Damayantee story in MBH.]

Rituparn's son was Sarvkaam
Sarvkaam's son was Saudaas
Saudaas's wife's name was Madayantee. Saudaas was known as Mitrasaha and as well as Kalmaashpaad. Later he became Raakshas because of
         Shaap and then became childless because of his own Karm. Then Vashishth Jee helped his wife to get a son.
Saudaas' son was Ashmak
Ashmak's son was Moolak - when Parashuraam Jee was killing Kshatriya then women hid him from him. That is why his another name was
         Naaree-Kavach (Naree=woman, and Kavach=guarded, means who has been guarded by women). And he was called Moolak because then he became
          the Mool (root) of that lineage after Prithvi became without Kshatriya.
