Shloka 24
भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
अन्तर्धाम्नो हविर्धामा प्रजापतिरनिन्दित: । प्राचीनबर्हिर्भविता हविर्धाम्न: सुतो महान्,अन्तर्धामासे अनिन्द्य प्रजापति हविर्धामाकी उत्पत्ति होगी। हविर्धामाके पुत्र महाराज प्राचीनबर्हि होंगे
antardhāmno havirdhāmā prajāpatir aninditaḥ | prācīnabarhir bhavitā havirdhāmnaḥ suto mahān |
Īśvara disse: “De Antardhāman nascerá o irrepreensível Prajāpati chamado Havirdhāman. E de Havirdhāman surgirá seu grande filho, o rei Prācīnabarhis.” A passagem situa uma genealogia sagrada, apresentando governantes e progenitores exemplares como ‘sem mácula’—um enquadramento moral que liga a linhagem legítima à conduta dhármica e à continuidade da ordem ritual.

The verse underscores dharmic continuity through a revered lineage: progenitors and kings are described as 'blameless,' implying that moral excellence and ritual order are integral to legitimate succession and social stability.
Īśvara is recounting a genealogical sequence: Antardhāman begets the Prajāpati Havirdhāman, and Havirdhāman in turn begets the eminent king Prācīnabarhis.
