Rohitāśva (रोहिताश्व) (cf. Viṣṇupurāṇa chapter IV.3) is another name for Rohita: the son of Hariścandra and grandson of Dṛḍhāśva, according to the Vaṃśānucarita section of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, [...] Srāvasti was the son of Yuvanāśva and he established the city of Śravasti. Kuvalaya was born of Srāvasti and afterwards Dhundhumāri was born. Dhundhumāri had three sons Dṛḍhāśva and others. Dṛḍhāśva’s son was Hariścandra and Rohita (or Rohitāśva) was the son of Hariścandra. Dhundhu (or Cuñcu in Viṣṇupurāṇa) was the son of Rohita (Rohitāśva).
The Purana (पुराण, 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.
