धृष्टस्तु कुकुराज्जज्ञे तस्मात्कापोतरोमकः / तदात्मजो विलोमा च विलोम्नस्तुम्बुरुः सुतः
dhṛṣṭastu kukurājjajñe tasmātkāpotaromakaḥ / tadātmajo vilomā ca vilomnastumburuḥ sutaḥ
کُکُر سے دھِرِشٹ پیدا ہوا؛ اس سے کاپوترومک ہوا۔ اس کا بیٹا وِلوما تھا؛ اور وِلوما سے تُنبُرو نام کا بیٹا پیدا ہوا۔
Lord Vishnu (speaking to Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: Embodiment follows causal succession; births arise in sequence, hinting at karmic continuity across generations.
Vedantic Theme: Saṃsāra as a chain of cause-effect in nāma-rūpa; the witnessing Self remains untouched.
Application: Reflect on intergenerational consequences—cultivate virtues so that one’s ‘line’ (literal or cultural) carries dharmic tendencies.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.139.44-48 (same vaṃśa chain)
