Genealogy of the Ancestors (Pitṛs) and the Procedure of Śrāddha
एतेषां मानसी कन्या यशोदा नाम विश्रुता । पत्नी यांशुमतः श्रेष्ठा स्नुषा पंचजनस्य च
eteṣāṃ mānasī kanyā yaśodā nāma viśrutā | patnī yāṃśumataḥ śreṣṭhā snuṣā paṃcajanasya ca
ในหมู่พวกเขามีธิดาผู้บังเกิดด้วยใจ (มานสีกัญญา) นามว่า “ยโศทา” อันเลื่องลือ; นางเป็นชายาอันประเสริฐของยางศุมตะ และเป็นสะใภ้ของปัญจชนด้วย
Narratorial voice (Purāṇic narrator continuing a genealogical account; specific dialogue-pair not explicit in this single verse)
Concept: Lineage and rightful relationships (wife, daughter-in-law) are presented as stabilizing nodes in cosmic society; renown (yaśas) is tied to dharmic placement and virtue.
Application: Honor family responsibilities with dignity; see relationships as opportunities for steadiness, service, and reputation built through virtue rather than display.

FAQs
This verse identifies Yaśodā as a renowned, mind-born (mānasī) daughter within a genealogical narration, and states her marital and family relations: she is the wife of Yāṃśumat and the daughter-in-law of Pañcajana.
Mānasī kanyā means a “mind-born daughter,” i.e., one said to be produced mentally rather than through physical birth—common Purāṇic language for extraordinary origins in early creation-era genealogies.
The verse primarily serves a genealogical function—preserving lineage memory and social relations (wife/daughter-in-law). Its broader theme is the Purāṇic emphasis on continuity of dharmic family lines within creation narratives.
