FAQs
The verse promises two results granted through grace: (1) the birth of a virtuous son who sustains the family line, and (2) the enjoyment of excellent pleasures described as both divine and human.
It indicates a son who “carries the lineage onward,” i.e., one who preserves, uplifts, and ensures the continuity and reputation of the family line.
It links blessings to “prasāda” (grace), emphasizing that prosperity and family continuity are viewed as outcomes of higher favor, ideally to be received with responsibility and dharmic conduct.
