FAQs
It foretells the birth of a daughter named Kṛttī, described as a yoginī, and instructs that she be given in marriage to the Pāñcāla lord, Sātvata.
Calling her a yoginī frames her as spiritually accomplished or disciplined, suggesting her identity is not only dynastic but also marked by ascetic or yogic excellence.
The verse reflects the Purāṇic norm of arranging marriages as purposeful alliances within dharma—linking family lineage, regional rulers, and social order through prescribed marital duty.
