Transliteration

buddhyāharadvai rāṣṭrajātaṃ ca sarvaṃ dhṛtaṃ tvato budhasaṃjñāmavāpa / evaṃ cābhūdabhimanyurmahātmā subhadrāyā jaṭhare hyarjunācca

Translation

ತನ್ನ ಬುದ್ಧಿಬಲದಿಂದ ಅವನು ಸಮಸ್ತ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರವಂಶವನ್ನು ಜಯಿಸಿ ಧರಿಸಿದನು; ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ‘ಬುಧ’ (ಜ್ಞಾನಿ) ಎಂಬ ಸಂಜ್ಞೆ ಪಡೆದನು. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಮಹಾತ್ಮ ಅಭಿಮನ್ಯು ಸುಭದ್ರೆಯ ಗರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಜುನನಿಂದ ಜನಿಸಿದನು.

FAQs

Here ‘Budha’ is explained as a title earned through wisdom and the capacity to uphold and secure one’s people/lineage, highlighting merit-based honor rather than mere birth.

Indirectly, it emphasizes karmic qualities (like intelligence and sustaining dharma) that shape one’s honor and legacy, which the Garuda Purana often links to the broader moral order governing life, death, and outcomes.

Cultivate buddhi (discernment) and use it to protect and support family/community through dharmic action; reputation and remembrance follow sustained responsibility.
