کُشستھلی کے اس شہر میں پہنچ کر اور اس بے مثال حسن والی کو دیکھ کر، بے نظیر فہم رکھنے والے بادشاہ نے اپنی بیٹی سیرَدھوج کو دے دی—جس کا کشادہ سینہ بلور کے پہاڑ کی طرح چمکتا تھا۔
Sage Parāśara (narrating) to Maitreya
FAQs
This verse presents marriage as a deliberate dynastic alliance—linking houses, stabilizing succession, and reinforcing dharma within the genealogical flow overseen by the Purana’s vision of cosmic order.
Through concise genealogical episodes—cities, kings, and unions—Parāśara shows how political continuity and family lines progress, forming the historical scaffold on which later dharmic events unfold.
Even when Vishnu is not named, the Purana’s dynastic order is implicitly grounded in Vishnu as the sustainer—so righteous sovereignty, lawful unions, and stable succession are treated as expressions of the sustaining cosmic principle.
