द्रौपदी–सत्यभामा संवादः
Draupadī and Satyabhāmā on ethical household conduct
अस्य लोकस्य सर्वस्य य: प्रभु: परिपठ्यते । सोअन्निर्विश्वपतिर्नाम द्वितीयो वै मनो: सुत:
asya lokasya sarvasya yaḥ prabhuḥ paripaṭhyate | so 'nnirviśvapatiḥ nāma dvitīyo vai manoḥ sutaḥ ||
Mārkaṇḍeya dit : «Celui que l’on récite et dont on se souvient comme du seigneur de ce monde tout entier se nomme Anirviśvapati, et il est bien le second fils de Manu.»
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes traditional authority and cosmic order: the lordship of the world is affirmed through established recitation (paripaṭhyate), and that sovereignty is situated within a dharmic genealogy by identifying the ruler as a son of Manu, the archetypal lawgiver.
Mārkaṇḍeya continues a genealogical/cosmological account, identifying a world-lord by name—Anirviśvapati—and placing him in Manu’s lineage as Manu’s second son.
