FAQs

Is this verse describing a genealogy or a list of notable figures?

Yes. The verse functions like a catalogue, listing several named women and stating that they were “suputraka”—blessed with good sons—suggesting a genealogical or merit-related enumeration in the surrounding passage.

What does “suputraka” imply in Purāṇic usage?

“Suputraka” literally means “having good sons,” commonly implying virtuous, capable offspring and the auspiciousness (puṇya) associated with righteous family life in Purāṇic contexts.

Can the speaker be identified from this single shloka?

Not reliably from this verse alone. In the Padma Purāṇa, Bhūmi-khaṇḍa sections often occur within extended dialogues (e.g., Pulastya–Bhīṣma), but the immediate speaker must be confirmed by the surrounding verses.
