FAQs

What does Srimad Bhagavatam 9.22.42 say?

It lists a sequence of descendants in the Lunar Dynasty: Pariplava, Medhāvī (son of Sunayā), then Nṛpañjaya, Dūrva, and finally Timi.

Why does Śukadeva Gosvāmī describe genealogies in Canto 9?

To preserve the sacred history of dynasties connected with dharma and the Lord’s pastimes, and to show how great personalities appear through established lineages.

What is a practical application of studying Bhagavatam genealogies?

It strengthens śraddhā (faith) by placing spiritual teachings in a real historical narrative and encourages respect for dharmic inheritance—values, character, and responsibility passed through generations.
