दाक्षायण्यास्तथा5<दित्यो मनुरादित्यतस्तथा । मनोश्व वंशज इला सुद्युम्नश्ष भविष्यति

ਦਕਸ਼ ਦੀ ਧੀ ਅਦਿਤੀ ਤੋਂ ਆਦਿਤ੍ਯ (ਸੂਰਜ) ਜਨਮੇਗਾ; ਆਦਿਤ੍ਯ ਤੋਂ ਮਨੁ ਜਨਮੇਗਾ। ਮਨੁ ਦੇ ਵੰਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਲਾ ਨਾਮ ਦੀ ਧੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ, ਜੋ ਸਮੇਂ ਨਾਲ ਸੁਦ੍ਯੁਮਨ ਨਾਮ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਰਿਵਰਤਿਤ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that righteous kingship and social order (dharma) are grounded in a sacred, divinely ordered lineage. By tracing descent from Aditi to the Sun to Manu, it frames human law and governance as connected to cosmic origins.
Īśvara outlines a genealogical sequence: Aditi gives rise to Āditya (the Sun), from whom Manu is born; within Manu’s line appears Ilā, who later becomes known as Sudyumna, indicating a significant transformation within the royal lineage.
