हनुमांश्च तदा जज्ञे त्रेतायां पक्षिसत्तम / तदा शिवाख्यविप्राच्च जज्ञे सा भारती स्मृता

ഹേ പക്ഷിശ്രേഷ്ഠാ! ത്രേതായുഗത്തിൽ അപ്പോൾ ഹനുമാൻ ജനിച്ചു; അതേ സമയത്ത് ‘ശിവ’ എന്ന പേരുള്ള ബ്രാഹ്മണനിൽ നിന്നു അവളും—‘ഭാരതി’ എന്നു സ്മരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നവൾ—ജനിച്ചു.

FAQs
This verse anchors sacred history in yuga-chronology, identifying Hanumān as a Tretā-yuga figure and situating related births within a Purāṇic genealogical framework.
Indirectly: it emphasizes rebirth and time-cycles (yugas), implying that embodied beings appear in specific cosmic periods according to divine order and karmic timing, even though this verse itself is genealogical rather than funerary.
Use it as a reminder to live dharmically within one’s own time and role—seeing life events as part of a larger moral-cosmic order rather than mere chance.
