വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു—രാജാവേ! ആ സന്താനങ്ങളിൽ ദീർഘബാഹു, മഹാബാഹു, വ്യൂഢോരു, കനകാംഗദൻ; കൂടാതെ കുണ്ഡജനും ചിത്രകനും; പിന്നെ ദുഃശലാ—ഇവരോടൊപ്പം നൂറിലധികം മറ്റുള്ളവരും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

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.
