tato ghosah sutas tasmad

Translation: 
 
My dear King Pariksit, Agnimitra will follow as king, and then Sujyestha. Sujyestha will be followed by Vasumitra, Bhadraka, and the son of Bhadraka, Pulinda. Then the son of Pulinda, named Ghosa, will rule, followed by Vajramitra, Bhagavata and Devabhuti. In this way, O most eminent of the Kuru heroes, ten Sunga kings will rule over the earth for more than one hundred years. Then the earth will come under the subjugation of the kings of the Kanva dynasty, who will manifest very few good qualities.
 
Purport: 
 
According to Srila Sridhara Svami, the Sunga dynasty began when General Puspamitra killed his king, Brhadratha, and assumed power. After Puspamitra came Agnimitra and the rest of the Sunga dynasty, which lasted for 112 years.
