Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fifth Canto, Second Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Activities of Mahārāja Āgnīdhra.”
They are Merudevī, Pratirūpā, Ugradaṁṣṭrī, Latā, Ramyā, Śyāmā, Nārī, Bhadrā, and Devavīti.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī is narrating the dynastic and geographic unfolding of Bhū-maṇḍala through the descendants of Priyavrata; the marriages connect the nine brothers to Meru’s nine daughters, establishing further lineages.
The verse highlights orderly, dharmic continuity—reminding modern readers that family duties and social responsibilities can be harmonized with a larger spiritual purpose when aligned with sacred tradition.
