Adhyaya 16 — Surya's Dynasty
यथा भर्तृसमं नान्यमहं पश्यामि दैवतम् ।
तेन सत्येन विप्रोऽयं पुनर्जीवत्वनामयः ॥
yathā bhartṛ-samaṃ nānyam ahaṃ paśyāmi daivatam | tena satyena vipro 'yaṃ punar jīvatv anāmayaḥ ||
چونکہ مجھے اپنے شوہر کے برابر کوئی دیوتا نظر نہیں آتا، اسی سچ کے زور سے یہ برہمن بے بیماری کے ساتھ پھر زندہ ہو جائے۔

The verse presents satya (truthfulness) joined with niṣṭhā (steadfast devotion) as a moral force. Anasūyā’s unwavering reverence for dharmic marital duty becomes a ‘truth-act’ (satyakriyā) capable of reversing misfortune—here, illness and near-death.
Primarily falls under Vaṃśānucarita/Ākhyāna (exemplary narratives about virtuous persons). It is not sarga/pratisarga/manvantara in content; it functions as dharma-upadeśa through story.
The ‘deity as husband’ can be read as ekāgratā (single-pointed devotion) and the sanctification of relationship into a spiritual vow. The satya-kriyā suggests that aligned speech (vāk) grounded in inner truth can ‘reconfigure’ lived reality.
