Adhyaya 52 — The Manifestation of Nilalohita (Rudra) and the Allocation of His Names, Abodes, Consorts, and Lineages
तेभ्यः स्वधा सुते जज्ञे मेनां वै धारिणीं तथा ।
ते उभे ब्रह्मवादिन्यौ योगिन्यौ चाप्युभे द्विज ॥
tebhyaḥ svadhā sute jajñe menāṃ vai dhāriṇīṃ tathā | te ubhe brahmavādinyau yoginyau cāpy ubhe dvija ||

The verse explicitly affirms women as brahmavādinīs and yoginīs—authorized knowers and teachers of Brahman—countering any simplistic assumption that spiritual authority is exclusively male in Purāṇic memory.
Vaṃśa (genealogy) linked to ritual-cosmology: Svadhā (Pitṛ-offering principle) generates notable female figures, tying śrāddha theology to sacred history.
Svadhā represents the subtle 'nourishment' offered to ancestors; her daughters being yoginīs suggests that honoring lineage (outer continuity) and realizing Brahman (inner continuity) are two faces of one sacred economy.
