मārkaṇḍeya uvāca
मार्तण्ड रस्यवेर्भार्या तनया विश्वकर्मणः ।
संज्ञा नाम महाभाग तस्यां भानुरजीजनत् ॥

マールカンデーヤは言った。「高貴なる者よ、サンジュニャー(Saṃjñā)という名の、ヴィシュヴァカルマン(Viśvakarman)の娘は、マールタンダ(Mārtaṇḍa、太陽神)の妻となった。彼女において、バーヌ(Bhānu、太陽)は子孫をもうけた。」
The Purāṇa grounds cosmic governance (Manu) in a sacred genealogy: social and cosmic order are traced back to luminous, intelligible principles symbolized by the Sun.
Vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita: it introduces the lineage (Solar line) that produces Vaivasvata Manu.
Saṃjñā (‘cognition/recognition’) joined to the Sun suggests that lawful order arises when illumination (Sūrya) is paired with right perception (saṃjñā).
