मम वंशस्य चार्वंगि किं पुनर्मम मानदः । अहो दुःखमनुप्राप्तं पुत्रादप्यधिकं मया ॥ ३० ॥

FAQs
The verse highlights how attachment to lineage and social honor intensifies suffering; it implicitly points toward cultivating dharmic steadiness and seeking a higher refuge beyond familial identity.
Though bhakti is not named here, the emotional collapse described is the kind of crisis that, in Purāṇic teaching, turns the mind toward surrender—making devotion to the Lord a stabilizing refuge when worldly supports (family, status) fail.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is directly taught in this verse; it is primarily a narrative expression of duḥkha and vaṃśa-related concern rather than a technical instruction.
