यदुवंश-प्रवचनम्: हैहय-क्रोष्टु-वंशविस्तारः (कृतवीर्यार्जुनादि, ज्यामघ-विदर्भ-शात्वत-पर्यन्तम्)
सुतं विदर्भं सुभगा वयःपरिणता सती राजा पुत्रसुतायां तु विद्वांसौ क्रथकैशिकौ
sutaṃ vidarbhaṃ subhagā vayaḥpariṇatā satī rājā putrasutāyāṃ tu vidvāṃsau krathakaiśikau
Ang reyna—matuwid at pinagpala, at ngayo’y ganap na sa gulang—ay nagsilang sa hari ng isang anak na lalaki na nagngangalang Vidarbha. Mula sa lahi ng anak na iyon, sa pagpapatuloy ng angkan ng hari, lumitaw ang dalawang prinsipe na marurunong: sina Kratha at Kaiśika.

FAQs
This verse anchors the dharmic royal lineage (kṣatriya-vaṃśa) through which Shiva-bhakti, temple endowments, and Linga installation traditions are often transmitted in the Linga Purana’s broader narrative.
Shiva-tattva is not stated directly here; the verse functions as genealogical scaffolding in the Purva-Bhaga, where righteous progeny and learned rulers become fit vessels (pātra) for receiving Pati’s (Shiva’s) teachings that liberate the paśu from pāśa.
No explicit ritual or Pāśupata Yoga limb is described in this line; it supports the narrative setting in which later Shiva-pūjā, dāna, and dharma-based disciplines are typically taught and practiced by such learned royal figures.
