In Indian epics, the '''Solar dynasty''' or the '''Ikshvaku dynasty''' was founded by the legendary king [[Ikshvaku]].<ref name="hind">Geography of Rigvedic India, M.L.

==Origins==

Suryavansha or Solar Dynasty is the one of the two major legendary [[Kshatriya]] dynasties found in Hindu Puranic and epic literature, the other being Chandravansha or the [[Lunar Dynasty]]. According to ''Harivamsa'', Ikshvaku is considered the primogenitor of the dynasty of, and was granted the kingdom of Aryavarta by his father [[Shraddhadeva Manu|Vaivasvata Manu]]. Manu settled down in the [[Aryavarta]] region after he survived the great flood. [[A. K. Mozumdar]] states that Manu is the one who built a city on the [[Sarayu]] and called it [[Ayodhya]] meaning the 'invincible city'. This city served as the capital of many kings from the solar dynasty and is also the birthplace of [[Rama]] an avatar of [[Vishnu]].{{sfn|A.K.Mazumdar|2008|p=161}}

Some Hindu texts suggest Rishi [[Marichi]], one of the seven sages and first human creations of [[Brahma]] as the progenitor of the dynasty. Marichi's eldest son [[Kashyapa]] is said to have settled down in Kashmir (Kashyapa-Meru or Kashyameru). He also contributed to the verses of the Vedas. Later, Vivasvan son of Kashyapa and Aditi, famously known as the hindu god [[Surya]] married [[Saranyu]] who was the daughter of [[Vishvakarman]], the architect of devas. He had many children but Manu was given the responsibility of building the civilization and as a result it formed a dynasty that was named 'Suryavansh' or the solar dynasty. Manu is also the progenitor of the Lunar Dynasty because he married his daughter [[Ila (Hinduism)|Ila]] to [[Budha]], the son of [[Chandra]] or the moon god and the couple gave birth to the magnanimous King [[Pururavas]] who became the first king of the Chandravansh or the Lunar dynasty.{{sfn|A.K.Mazumdar|2008|p=159}}

==In Bhagavata Purana==
Ikshvaku and his ancestor Manu are also mentioned in the [[Bhagavata Purana]] (Canto 9, Chapter 1),

{{Verse translation|योऽसौ सत्यव्रतो नाम राजर्षिर्द्रविडेश्वर: ।

He became known as Vaivasvata Manu, the son of Vivasvān.

In the next manvantara [period of Manu], I will have received this knowledge from you.

I also understand that such kings as Ikṣvāku were his sons, as you have already explained.}}

== In Buddhism ==
The Buddhist text, [[Buddhavamsa]] and [[Mahavamsa]] (II, 1-24) traces the origin of the [[Shakya]]s to king Okkaka (Pali equivalent to Sanskrit Ikshvaku) and gives their genealogy from Mahasammata, an ancestor of Okkaka.
