FAQs
It is a genealogical statement listing successive descendants: Haryaśva → Nikuṃbha → Saṃhatāśva → (Akṛtāśva and Raṇāśva).
Not directly; the verse functions primarily as lineage-record (vaṃśa) material within the creation-era narrative framework of the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa.
Such lists preserve traditional memory of dynasties and transmission lines, linking cosmology and history, and providing narrative continuity for later episodes involving these families.
