Shloka 28

भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival

यदुस्तस्मान्महासत्त्व: क्रोष्टा तस्माद्‌ भविष्यति । क्रोष्टश्नैव महान्‌ पुत्रो वजिनीवान्‌ भविष्यति

yadus tasmān mahāsattvaḥ kroṣṭā tasmād bhaviṣyati | kroṣṭaś caiva mahān putro vṛjinīvān bhaviṣyati |

El Señor dijo: «De Yadu surgirá un descendiente de gran alma llamado Kroṣṭā; y de Kroṣṭā, a su vez, nacerá un hijo célebre, Vṛjinīvān». La afirmación obra como genealogía profética, confirmando que la nobleza y la fuerza se transmiten por linajes rectos y que los futuros líderes emergen a su debido tiempo de raíces dinásticas ya establecidas.

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the continuity of lineage and the idea that eminent figures arise in an ordered succession; it frames dynastic history as meaningful and providential, where greatness is anticipated and named as part of a larger moral-cosmic order.

Īśvara delivers a genealogical prophecy: from Yadu will be born Kroṣṭā, and from Kroṣṭā will be born Vṛjinīvān, marking successive generations within the Yādava line.
