FAQs

Who are Sangrāmajit, Bṛhatsena, and the other names mentioned in Bhagavatam 10.61.17?

They are personal names listed by Śukadeva Gosvāmī as part of the genealogy/offspring connected to Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s dynastic line in this section of Canto 10.

Why does Śukadeva Gosvāmī list so many names in Canto 10 Chapter 61?

This chapter preserves sacred dynastic history (vaṁśa) around Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His family, showing the breadth of the Yadu line and grounding the Lord’s līlā in a real, remembered lineage.

What is a practical takeaway from Bhagavatam verses that list genealogies and names?

They train the reader in śravaṇa (attentive hearing) and remembrance of the Lord’s associates, encouraging respect for tradition and continuity of devotion through generations.
