FAQs
It records a genealogical detail: Bhāja’s two wives bore several sons, and four are named—Nemi, Cakṛkaṇa, Vṛṣṇi, and Parapuraṃjaya.
Parapuraṃjaya is presented as an epithet-like name meaning “conqueror of enemy/other cities,” indicating martial prowess or royal power in the lineage.
In the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa, creation-era narration often includes dynastic and progeny lists to map the unfolding of human and royal lineages within the cosmic order.
