Shloka 3.14.10
जटायुस्संवादः — Encounter with Jaṭāyu and the Genealogy of Beings (Aranyakanda 14)
प्रजापतेस्तु दक्षस्य बभूवुरिति विश्रुतम्।षष्टिर्दुहितरो राम यशस्विन्यो महायशः।।3.14.10।।
prajāpates tu dakṣasya babhūvur iti viśrutam | ṣaṣṭir duhitaraḥ rāma yaśasvinyo mahāyaśaḥ ||
O greatly renowned Rāma, it is widely known that Prajāpati Dakṣa had sixty illustrious daughters.
O glorious Rama! it is well-known that Daksha, the creator had sixty daughters of great fame.
Dharma is linked with remembrance of cosmic lineage and order: genealogies situate beings within a moral universe where duties, relationships, and rightful conduct are intelligible.
During the encounter, Jaṭāyu begins recounting a well-known mythic genealogy connected to the origins of various beings.
Respect for traditional knowledge and truthful narration (satya in reporting what is ‘viśruta’—well-attested).
