گووند مہاتما منو کے وَنش میں پیدا ہوں گے۔ منو کا ایک بیٹا ‘اَنگ’ نام کا ہوگا، اور اس کے بعد ‘اَنتَردھاما’ نام کا نسل میں آنے والا ہوگا۔

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that divine intervention (Govinda’s manifestation) is aligned with dharma and occurs through a righteous lineage, underscoring the ethical ideal that kingship and social order are sanctified when rooted in dharma.
Īśvara is describing a future (or foretold) descent of Govinda within Manu’s dynasty, naming key figures in the line—Aṅga and then Antardhāmā—thereby situating the avatāra within a specific royal genealogy.
