वंशवर्णनम् तथा विवाहप्रार्थना
Genealogy of the Ikshvaku Line and the Proposal for Marriage
बाणस्य तु महातेजा अनरण्य: प्रतापवान्।अनरण्यात्पृथुर्जज्ञे त्रिशङ्कुस्तु पृथोस्सुत:।।1.70.24।।
bāṇasya tu mahātejā anaraṇyaḥ pratāpavān |
anaraṇyāt pṛthur jajñe triśaṅkus tu pṛthos sutaḥ || 1.70.24 ||
Daripada Bāṇa lahirlah Anaraṇya, yang bercahaya agung dan berwibawa perkasa. Daripada Anaraṇya lahir Pṛthu; dan Triśaṅku ialah putera Pṛthu.
Prosperous Vikukshi was Kukshi's son, who brought forth brilliant and powerful Bana.
Dharma is sustained through truthful remembrance of succession: naming rulers in sequence reinforces the idea that power is entrusted across generations within an accountable moral framework.
Vasiṣṭha advances the Ikṣvāku genealogy further, listing Anaraṇya, Pṛthu, and Triśaṅku.
Pratāpa (effective strength) is highlighted again, implying that capability is valued when aligned with dharma.
