सत्या व्रतवती स्वप्ना भंगकारस्य पूर्वजा । सुषुवुस्ताः कुमारांश्च शिनीवालः प्रतापवान्
satyā vratavatī svapnā bhaṃgakārasya pūrvajā | suṣuvustāḥ kumārāṃśca śinīvālaḥ pratāpavān
भङ्गकारस्य पूर्वजाः सत्याऽपि व्रतवती स्वप्ना च; ताः कुमारान् सुषुवुः, तथा शिनीवालः प्रतापवान् आसीत्।
Narratorial voice (Purāṇic narrator; specific dialogue-pair not explicit from this single verse)
Concept: Qualities embodied in names (satya, vrata, svapna) are presented as generative powers; disciplined vows and truthfulness ‘give birth’ to strength and renown.
Application: Treat truthfulness and small daily vows (food restraint, speech restraint, japa commitments) as creative acts that shape one’s ‘descendants’—habits, reputation, and inner strength.

FAQs
It records a genealogical detail: named women associated with Bhaṅgakāra give birth to sons, and Śinīvāla is described as valorous.
Not directly; it functions primarily as a lineage notice within the creation/genealogy narrative typical of the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa.
From the verse alone, the speaker cannot be securely identified; it reads as narrative genealogy rather than explicit direct speech. The broader chapter context would be needed to assign a dialogue pair.
