Adhyaya 88 — Surya's Progeny
कोटिवीर्याणि पञ्चाशदसुराणां कुलानि वै । शतं कुलानि धौम्राणां निर्गच्छन्तु ममाज्ञया ॥
koṭivīryāṇi pañcāśad asurāṇāṃ kulāni vai / śataṃ kulāni dhaumrāṇāṃ nirgacchantu mamājñayā
ममाज्ञया बलकोटिसमन्विताः पञ्चाशदसुरकुलानि तथा धौम्राणां शतकुलानि निर्गच्छन्तु।
Worldly power (koṭivīrya) and lineage pride (kula) are depicted as marshaled against the divine—yet they remain finite and ultimately subordinate to dharma.
Anucarita with genealogical flavor (vaṃśa-like listing of kulas), though still within the battle narrative rather than a full dynastic register.
‘Clans’ suggest entrenched tendencies inherited through habit; the verse portrays how deeply-rooted patterns rise together when confronted by transformative power.
