Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse presents a phalaśruti: attentive hearing of the praised genealogies of the Moon and Sun dynasties is said to yield tangible well-being—prosperity in wealth and grain—while also reinforcing reverence for dharmic kingship and sacred history.
Parāśara frames the genealogy as spiritually potent narration: merely hearing the complete, celebrated lineages brings auspicious results, implying that sacred remembrance of dharmic rulers and their lines supports inner steadiness (unafflicted senses) and outer prosperity.
Even when Vishnu is not named in the verse, the Vishnu Purana’s genealogies are told as part of the cosmic order sustained by the Supreme Lord; the prosperity promised here aligns with dharma preserved under Vishnu’s sovereignty over time, kings, and worldly flourishing.
