Adhyaya 50 — Mind-Born Progeny, Svayambhuva Manu’s Lineage, and Brahmā’s Ordinance to Duḥsaha (Alakṣmī’s Retinue)
सन्ततिश्चानसूया च ऊर्जा स्वाहा स्वधा तथा ।
भृगुर्भवो मरीचिश्च तथा चैवाङ्गिरा मुनिः ॥
santatiś cānasūyā ca ūrjā svāhā svadhā tathā | bhṛgur bhavo marīciś ca tathā caivāṅgirā muniḥ ||
అలాగే సంతతి, అనసూయా, ఊర్జా, స్వాహా, స్వధా. వీరి భర్తలు భృగు, భవుడు (శివుడు), మరీచి మరియు ఋషి అంగిరసుడు.
Ritual and ancestry are anchored in personified principles: svāhā (deva-offering) and svadhā (pitṛ-offering) show that sustaining gods and honoring ancestors are both integral to dharmic life.
Sarga/Pratisarga and Manvantara-support: it maps how sages and deities are connected through marital lineages, a standard Purāṇic method for structuring cosmic history.
Svāhā and Svadhā represent two currents of obligation—upward to the devas and backward to the ancestors—balancing aspiration and gratitude.
