Adhyaya 63 — The Birth of Svarocis and the Rescue of Manoramā: The Astra-Heart and the Healing of Curses
कन्योवाच अहमिन्दीवराख्यस्य सुता विद्याधरस्य वै । नाम्ना मनोरमा जाता सुतायां मरुधन्वनः ॥
kanyovāca aham indīvarākhyasya sutā vidyādharasya vai / nāmnā manoramā jātā sutāyāṃ marudhanvanaḥ
କନ୍ୟା କହିଲା—“ମୁଁ ଇନ୍ଦୀବର ନାମକ ବିଦ୍ୟାଧରଙ୍କ କନ୍ୟା। ମୋ ନାମ ମନୋରମା; ମୁଁ ମରୁଧନ୍ୱନଙ୍କ (ପତ୍ନୀ/କନ୍ୟା) ଠାରୁ ଜନ୍ମିତ କନ୍ୟା।”

Puranic narration often situates persons through lineage and community (here, Vidyādharas). Identity is relational—one’s story is anchored in networks of responsibility and protection.
Vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita tendency: naming and descent markers, even within an episodic legend.
Vidyādharas (‘knowledge-bearers’) frame the episode as more than mundane danger: knowledge without humility can still meet peril, preparing the ground for the curse motif that follows.
