Shloka 22
भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
भवार्थमिह देवानां बुद्धया परमया युत: । प्राजापत्ये शुभे मार्गे मानवे धर्मसंस्कृते
bhavārtham iha devānāṁ buddhyā paramayā yutaḥ | prājāpatye śubhe mārge mānave dharma-saṁskṛte |
Demi kesejahteraan dan kemajuan para dewa, dengan kebijaksanaan tertinggi, Tuhan Yang Terberkati Govinda akan lahir di sini—berteguh pada jalan suci Prajāpati—dalam keturunan manusia yang dimurnikan oleh dharma Manu. Dalam dinasti Manu yang agung akan ada seorang raja bernama Aṅga; daripadanya akan lahir seorang putera bernama Antardhāman.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames divine incarnation as a dharma-centered intervention: the Lord, endowed with supreme wisdom, manifests within a righteous human lineage to uphold the Prajāpati-ordained path and promote the welfare of the gods—linking cosmic stability to dharmic kingship and lineage.
Īśvara speaks prophetically about Govinda’s descent into a Manu-sanctified human line, then begins a genealogical sequence: in Manu’s dynasty a king named Aṅga will arise, and Aṅga will have a son named Antardhāman.
