भीष्म उवाच
The verse highlights how a single revered figure can be known by multiple names in tradition, reminding the listener to recognize identity beyond labels and to read genealogical/cosmic accounts with attention to epithets and alternate appellations.
Bhishma is recounting a genealogical/cosmic lineage: among a group of ten, there is one son who becomes the progenitor Prajapati Daksha, and Bhishma notes that he is referred to by two names—Daksha and Ka.
