अध्याय ९५: चित्राङ्गदस्य गन्धर्वेण सह संग्रामः तथा विचित्रवीर्यस्य राज्याभिषेकः
Chitrāṅgada’s duel with the Gandharva and Vicitravīrya’s consecration
ऐक्ष्वाकी जनयामास सुहोत्रात् पृथिवीपते: । अजमीढं सुमीढं च पुरुमीढं च भारत,भारत! राजा सुहोत्रसे ऐक्ष्वाकीने अजमीढ, सुमीढ तथा पुरुमीढ नामक तीन पुत्रोंकी जन्म दिया
aikṣvākī janayāmāsa suhotrāt pṛthivīpateḥ | ajamīḍhaṃ sumīḍhaṃ ca purumīḍhaṃ ca bhārata ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: La dama Aikṣvākī dio a luz para el rey Suhotra, señor de la tierra, tres hijos—Ajamīḍha, Sumīḍha y Purumīḍha, oh Bhārata. El pasaje subraya la transmisión ordenada del linaje real, sostén del deber kṣatriya y de la estabilidad social.
