The Kuru Line, Bhīṣma and Vyāsa; Pāṇḍavas, Parīkṣit, and Future Kings
Chandravaṁśa Continuation
तिमेर्बृहद्रथस्तस्माच्छतानीक: सुदासज: । शतानीकाद् दुर्दमनस्तस्यापत्यं महीनर: ॥ ४३ ॥
timer bṛhadrathas tasmāc chatānīkaḥ sudāsajaḥ śatānīkād durdamanas tasyāpatyaṁ mahīnaraḥ
От Тими родится Брихадратха; от Брихадратхи — Судаса; а от Судасы — Шатаника. От Шатаники родится Дурдамана, и его сыном будет Махинара.
It lists a succession of kings—Timi, Bṛhadratha, Śatānīka (connected with Sudāsa), then Durdama, and finally Mahīnara—showing the continuity of the Chandravansha line.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī speaks this verse to King Parīkṣit while narrating the dynastic histories in Canto 9.
They train the reader to see history as sacred continuity under dharma, encouraging humility and remembrance that all worldly power is temporary, while devotion to Bhagavān is enduring.
