അവൻ അതിർത്തിപ്രദേശങ്ങളിൽ തന്റെ പുത്രന്മാരെ സ്ഥാപിച്ചു—അവരിൽ യദുവും ദ്രുഹ്യുവും മുൻപന്തിയിലായിരുന്നു. തുടർന്ന് മധ്യദേശത്തിന്റെ രാജ്യം ഭരിക്കാൻ പൂരുവിനെ അഭിഷേകം ചെയ്ത്, ഭാര്യമാരോടുകൂടെ വനത്തിലേക്ക് പ്രവേശിച്ചു.

Educational Q&A

A ruler should ensure rightful succession and the welfare of the realm before renouncing power; orderly delegation of responsibilities and timely withdrawal into a disciplined life are presented as dharmic conduct.

The king assigns his sons to govern frontier territories (with Yadu and Druhyu prominent), consecrates Pūru as ruler of the central kingdom, and then departs with his wives to the forest, signaling a transition from royal life to renunciant practice.
