अत्रिवंशसमुत्पन्नो ब्रह्मयोनि: सनातन: । प्राचीनबर्हिर्भगवांस्तस्मात् प्राचेतसलो दश,अत्रिकुलमें उत्पन्न जो सनातन ब्रह्मययोनि भगवान् प्राचीनबर्हि हैं, उनसे प्राचेतस नामवाले दस प्रजापति उत्पन्न हुए
atrivaṁśa-samutpanno brahma-yoniḥ sanātanaḥ | prācīna-barhir bhagavāṁs tasmāt prācetaso daśa ||
ဘိဿမက ပြောသည်– «အတြိ၏ မျိုးရိုးမှ ဘြဟ္မာမှ မွေးဖွားသော အနန္တတည်မြဲသည့် ဂုဏ်သရေရှိသူ ပရာချီန-ဗရ္ဟိစ် ပေါ်ထွန်းလာသည်။ ထိုသူမှ ‘ပရာချေတသ’ ဟု ခေါ်သော ပရာဇာပတိ ဆယ်ပါး ပေါ်ပေါက်လာကြသည်။»
भीष्म उवाच
Dharma and social order are presented as rooted in sacred lineage: the legitimacy of progenitors and rulers is traced to ancient, divinely grounded origins, reinforcing continuity, responsibility, and rightful governance.
Bhīṣma continues a genealogical account, stating that Prācīna-barhis—born in Atri’s line and described as Brahma-born and eternal—became the source from whom ten Prācetas, identified as Prajāpatis (progenitors), were born.
