Shloka 27
भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
बुधात् पुरूरवाश्षापि तस्मादायुर्भविष्यति । नहुषो भविता तस्माद् ययातिस्तस्य चात्मज:
Budhāt Purūravāś cāpi tasmād Āyur bhaviṣyati | Nahuṣo bhavitā tasmād Yayātis tasya cātmajaḥ ||
قال الرب: «ومن بودها (Budha) سيولد بورورَفاس (Purūravas) أيضًا. ومن بورورَفاس سيظهر ابن يُدعى آيو (Āyu). ومن آيو سيأتي نهوشا (Nahuṣa)، ومن نهوشا ابنه يَياتي (Yayāti)». وهكذا يرسم الصوت الإلهي سلالة الملوك، مُظهِرًا دوام الدولة بوصفه تفتّحًا منظّمًا للقدر وخلافةً مستحقّة.

The verse emphasizes orderly succession and continuity of royal lineage: legitimate kingship is portrayed as arising through a divinely acknowledged chain of descent, reinforcing the cultural ideal that social and political order is sustained through rightful progeny and remembered ancestry.
Īśvara enumerates a genealogical sequence: Budha begets Purūravas; Purūravas begets Āyu; Āyu begets Nahuṣa; and Nahuṣa begets Yayāti—linking well-known figures of the Lunar dynasty within the Mahābhārata’s broader historical framework.
