ब्रह्मणो दक्षिणांगुष्ठाद्दक्षः प्राचेतसोऽभवत् । शतानि पञ्च कन्यानां तस्य जातानि च द्विजाः
brahmaṇo dakṣiṇāṃguṣṭhāddakṣaḥ prācetaso'bhavat | śatāni pañca kanyānāṃ tasya jātāni ca dvijāḥ
ব্ৰহ্মাৰ দক্ষিণ আঙুঠিৰ পৰা দক্ষ প্ৰাচেতস জন্মিল; আৰু হে দ্বিজসকল, তেওঁৰ পাঁচশ কন্যা জন্ম গ্ৰহণ কৰিলে।
Sūta
Listener: Dvijāḥ / Ṛṣayaḥ
Scene: A cosmic tableau: Brahmā as progenitor, from whose right thumb Dakṣa arises; then a symbolic procession of many daughters (five hundred) as a lineage motif.

Not directly; the verse supplies genealogical background supporting the tīrtha narrative.
None; it is genealogical narration.
