Adhyaya 63: Daksha’s Progeny, Kashyapa’s Offspring, and the Rishi-Vamshas that Sustain the Worlds

Devanagari script

ब्रह्मर्षेर्वचनात्तस्य पपात न विभुर्दिवः ततः प्रभाकरेत्युक्तः प्रभुरत्रिर्महर्षिभिः

Transliteration

brahmarṣervacanāttasya papāta na vibhurdivaḥ tataḥ prabhākaretyuktaḥ prabhuratrirmaharṣibhiḥ

Translation

Sa utos ng Brahmarṣi, ang makapangyarihan ay hindi nahulog mula sa langit. Kaya ang marangal na si Atri, ang panginoong rishi, ay tinawag ng mga dakilang pantas na “Prabhākara”—tagapagdala ng liwanag; ang kanyang tapas ang nag-iingat sa kaayusang kosmiko na itinataguyod ng Pati (Śiva).
