अध्याय ९५: चित्राङ्गदस्य गन्धर्वेण सह संग्रामः तथा विचित्रवीर्यस्य राज्याभिषेकः
Chitrāṅgada’s duel with the Gandharva and Vicitravīrya’s consecration
व्रजनरूपिणयोर्ज्येष्ठमृक्षमाहुर्जनाधिपम् । ऋक्षात् संवरणो जज्ञे राजन् वंशकर: सुतः,व्रजन तथा रूपिणके ज्येष्ठ भाई ऋक्षको राजा कहा गया है। ऋक्षसे संवरणका जन्म हुआ। राजन! वे वंशकी वृद्धि करनेवाले पुत्र थे
vrajanarūpiṇayor jyeṣṭham ṛkṣam āhur janādhipam | ṛkṣāt saṃvaraṇo jajñe rājan vaṃśakaraḥ sutaḥ ||
वैशंपायन म्हणाले—व्रज आणि रूपिण यांपैकी ज्येष्ठ जनाधिप राजा ‘ऋक्ष’ म्हणून प्रसिद्ध होता. हे राजन्! ऋक्षापासून संवरण जन्मला—जो राजवंश वाढविणारा पुत्र ठरला.

The verse emphasizes the importance of lineage continuity in royal dharma: a worthy successor is praised as ‘vaṃśakara’, one who stabilizes and expands the dynasty through responsible kingship and progeny.
Vaiśampāyana continues a genealogical account: he identifies Ṛkṣa as the elder among Vraja and Rūpiṇa, and states that Saṃvaraṇa was born from Ṛkṣa, highlighting Saṃvaraṇa’s role in advancing the family line.
