Shloka 27
बुधात् पुरूरवाश्षापि तस्मादायुर्भविष्यति । नहुषो भविता तस्माद् ययातिस्तस्य चात्मज:
Budhāt Purūravāś cāpi tasmād Āyur bhaviṣyati | Nahuṣo bhavitā tasmād Yayātis tasya cātmajaḥ ||
El Señor dijo: «De Budha nacerá también Purūravas. De Purūravas surgirá un hijo llamado Āyu. De Āyu vendrá Nahuṣa, y de Nahuṣa su hijo Yayāti». Así, la voz divina traza el linaje real, presentando la continuidad dinástica como un despliegue ordenado del destino y de la sucesión legítima.

The verse emphasizes orderly succession and continuity of royal lineage: legitimate kingship is portrayed as arising through a divinely acknowledged chain of descent, reinforcing the cultural ideal that social and political order is sustained through rightful progeny and remembered ancestry.
Īśvara enumerates a genealogical sequence: Budha begets Purūravas; Purūravas begets Āyu; Āyu begets Nahuṣa; and Nahuṣa begets Yayāti—linking well-known figures of the Lunar dynasty within the Mahābhārata’s broader historical framework.
