अजातश्च विजातश्च करकश्च करंधमः । देवार्हस्य सुतो विद्वान्जज्ञे कंबलबर्हिषः
ajātaśca vijātaśca karakaśca karaṃdhamaḥ | devārhasya suto vidvānjajñe kaṃbalabarhiṣaḥ
اجات، وجات، کرک اور کرندھم پیدا ہوئے۔ دیوارہ کا دانا بیٹا کمبلبرہش بھی پیدا ہوا۔

FAQs
It records a genealogical note: the birth of Ajāta, Vijāta, Karaka, and Karaṃdhama as the (wise) sons of Devārha, connected with Kaṃbalabarhiṣ as their source/progenitor.
Not directly; it functions primarily as a lineage (vaṃśa) entry. In Purāṇic context, such lists support sacred history and the continuity of dharma through dynasties.
This single verse does not explicitly mark the speaker. It reads like a narrator’s genealogical catalog; identifying the dialogue pair requires surrounding verses from Adhyaya 13.
