ययाति-देवयानी-शर्मिष्ठा विवादः — Śukra’s Curse and the Disclosure of Lineage
वृषपर्वैव तद् वेद शक्रो राजा च नाहुष: । अचिन्त्य ब्रह्म निर्टन्ड्मैश्वरं हि बल॑ मम,इस बातको वृषपर्वा, देवराज इन्द्र तथा राजा ययाति जानते हैं। निर्दधन्द्र अचिन्त्य ब्रह्म ही मेरा ऐश्वर्ययुक्त बल है
vṛṣaparvaiva tad veda śakro rājā ca nāhuṣaḥ | acintyaṃ brahma nirdvandvam aiśvaraṃ hi balaṃ mama ||
Wika ni Śukra: “Si Vṛṣaparvan lamang ang nakaaalam nito—kasama si Śakra (Indra) at si Haring Nāhuṣa. Sapagkat ang aking lakas, na may taglay na kapangyarihang pang-ari, ay ang mismong Brahman—di-mawari at di-dalawa.”

Educational Q&A
Śukra grounds his extraordinary power not in mere physical might or magic, but in realization of the inconceivable, non-dual Brahman—suggesting that true sovereignty and strength arise from spiritual knowledge that transcends opposites.
Śukra asserts that only a select few—Vṛṣaparvan, Indra, and Nāhuṣa—know the secret of his potency, and he declares that his lordly strength is rooted in the transcendent reality of Brahman.
