ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮਾਰਕੰਡੇਯ ਪੁਰਾਣ ਦਾ ‘ਵਪੁਸ਼ਾਪ’ ਨਾਮਕ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਅਧਿਆਇ ਸਮਾਪਤ ਹੋਇਆ। ਹੁਣ ਦੂਜਾ ਅਧਿਆਇ ਆਰੰਭ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਮਾਰਕੰਡੇਯ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ—ਅਰਿਸ਼ਟਨੇਮੀ ਤੋਂ ਪੰਛੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਰਾਜਾ ਗਰੁੜ ਜਨਮਿਆ। ਗਰੁੜ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ‘ਸੰਪਾਤੀ’ ਨਾਮ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਸਿੱਧ ਸੀ।

FAQs
The verse functions primarily as a genealogical anchor: Purāṇas often establish authority and continuity through lineage. Ethically, it underscores the traditional Indian view that identity and duty (svadharma) are situated within a larger continuum of ancestry and cosmic order.
This is best classified under Vaṁśa (genealogies of sages, kings, and notable beings) / Vaṁśānucarita (accounts of dynasties and descendants). It is not directly sarga/pratisarga/manvantara in this single verse, but it contributes to the vaṁśa characteristic.
Garuḍa as ‘pakṣirāṭ’ (king of birds) can symbolically represent the ascending power of discernment and swift spiritual movement; naming Sampāti as his son signals a transmission of potency through lineage—an image for how capacities (śakti in a general sense) are inherited, cultivated, and narrated within dhārmic memory.
