Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
चारुदेष्ण: सुचारुश्ष चारुवेशो यशोधर: । चारुश्रवाश्लारुयशा: प्रद्युम्न: शम्भुरेव च
Cārudeṣṇaḥ sucāruś ca cāruveśo yaśodharaḥ | Cāruśravāś cāruyaśāḥ pradyumnaḥ śambhur eva ca ||
Wika ni Vāsudeva: “O Madhusūdana, sina Cārudeṣṇa, Sucāru, Cāruveśa, Yaśodhara, Cāruśravā, Cāruyaśā, Pradyumna, at Śambhu—sila ang aking mararangal at matatapang na anak. Kung paanong ipinagkaloob mo sila sa akin sa pamamagitan ng sinapupunan ni Reyna Rukmiṇī, gayon din ipagkaloob mo rin sa akin ang mga anak.”

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights the cultural-religious ideal of seeking worthy progeny through divine grace, linking family continuity and social responsibility (gṛhastha-dharma) with devotion and reverent supplication.
Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) enumerates his sons born of Rukmiṇī and, in the given contextual framing, a request is voiced to Madhusūdana to grant similar sons—emphasizing the theme of divine bestowal and lineage.
