FAQs
It summarizes the divine parentage of two Pāṇḍava brothers: Yudhiṣṭhira born from Dharma and Bhīma (Vṛkodara) born from Vāyu, through Devī (Kuntī) for Pāṇḍu’s sake.
The verse presents them as deva-putrāḥ because their birth is attributed to specific deities (Dharma and Vāyu), emphasizing a divine origin rather than ordinary human lineage.
By stating that Yudhiṣṭhira is born of Dharma, the text symbolically frames him as embodying righteousness and moral order, reinforcing the ideal of kingship grounded in dharma.
