वृजिनीवतश्न भविता उषड्गुरपराजित: । उषड्गोर्भविता पुत्र: शूरश्रित्ररथस्तथा,वृजिनीवानसे विजय वीर उषंगुका जन्म होगा। उपषंगुका पुत्र शूरवीर चित्ररथ होगा
vṛjinīvataś ca bhavitā uṣaḍgur aparājitaḥ | uṣaḍgor bhavitā putraḥ śūraś citrarathas tathā ||
Dijo el Señor: «De Vṛjinīvat nacerá Uṣaḍgu, invencible ante los enemigos. Y a Uṣaḍgu le nacerá un hijo, el heroico Citraratha». En esta genealogía profética se subraya la continuidad de un linaje digno—valor unido a firmeza—presentada como fruto del orden justo y de la presciencia divina.
