ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ರಾಜನೇ! ಆ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ದೀರ್ಘಬಾಹು, ಮಹಾಬಾಹು, ವ್ಯೂಢೋರು, ಕನಕಾಂಗದ; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಕುಂಡಜ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿತ್ರಕ; ಮತ್ತು ದುಃಶಲಾ—ಇವರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ನೂರಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾದವರು ಇದ್ದರು.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the vastness of a royal lineage; ethically, it suggests that mere numbers, strength, and prestige do not ensure dharma—only disciplined conduct and wise governance prevent kinship and power from turning into conflict.
Vaiśampāyana continues a genealogical enumeration, listing several named offspring (including Duḥśalā) and indicating that the total exceeded a hundred, emphasizing the scale of the family and setting context for later dynastic tensions.
