FAQs
This verse does not address Pralaya; it records dynastic succession—naming Vijaya’s descendants down to Satyakarmā.
Indirectly, it preserves the legitimacy of kingship through lineage memory; the epithet “Satyakarmā” highlights the ideal of truthful, righteous conduct expected of rulers.
No Vāstu, temple, or ritual procedure is mentioned; the verse is purely genealogical.
