Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical-political ideal of orderly dynastic continuity: many sons may found separate branches, yet the tradition identifies a principal line (here through Saṃvaraṇa) that carries the central royal succession forward.
Vaiśampāyana continues the genealogical account: Ajāmīḍha’s 124 sons are listed as born from four queens, each becoming a lineage-holder, and Saṃvaraṇa is marked out as the key founder through whom the main Kuru line proceeds.
