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 |
Le Seigneur dit : «De Yadu s’élèvera un descendant à la grande âme nommé Kroṣṭā ; et de Kroṣṭā, à son tour, naîtra un fils illustre, Vṛjinīvān.» Cette parole tient lieu de généalogie prophétique, affirmant que noblesse et force se transmettent par les lignées justes, et que les chefs à venir surgissent en leur temps des racines dynastiques établies.

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.
