Educational Q&A
The verse underscores a Mahābhārata theme: moral and cosmic causality persists across births. Powerful beings reappear in new forms, and their dispositions and consequences follow them, situating human conflicts within a larger karmic and dharmic framework.
Vaiśampāyana is identifying correspondences between earlier Daitya figures and later human kings. Here he states that the Daitya Hiraṇyakaśipu, son of Diti, took birth in the human world as Śiśupāla.
