A great-souled figure described as “Atri’s good son,” praised as a giver of complete accomplishment (pari-siddhi). The verse itself names Atri but does not specify the son’s name.
It explicitly attributes the blessing of obtaining a worthy son to “his grace” (yasya prasādena), presenting human prosperity as grounded in divine/saintly favor rather than effort alone.
The ideal of a “good son” is defined by inner virtues—wisdom (sudhīra), good qualities (suguṇa), and merit/piety (supuṇya)—not merely by birth or status.
