तस्याप्यासीद् सुतः शूरः सुपार्श्वो वायुविक्रमः ।

tasyāpyāsīt sutaḥ śūraḥ supārśvo vāyuvikramaḥ /
supārśvatanayaḥ kuntiḥ kuntiputraḥ pralolupaḥ
তারও এক পুত্র ছিল—বীর সুপার্শ্ব, যার পরাক্রম বায়ুর ন্যায়। সুপার্শ্ব থেকে কুন্তী জন্মাল; আর কুন্তীর পুত্র ছিল প্রলোলুপ।

The verse functions primarily as a lineage-link: Purāṇas preserve dharma through continuity—remembering predecessors and successors. The epithet “vāyuvikrama” also encodes an ideal of kṣatriya excellence (swift, forceful valor), signaling the virtues expected of rulers within the tradition.
This is chiefly within Vaṁśa (genealogies of kings/sages) and supports Manvantara-style historical ordering indirectly by anchoring persons within a succession chain.
Names and epithets act as ‘compressed descriptors’: “wind-like prowess” suggests prāṇa-like dynamism—rule and agency moving swiftly through time—while the unbroken father–son sequence symbolizes transmission (śruti/smṛti-style continuity) rather than an isolated heroic episode.
