कल्माषपाद-शाप-कारणम्
Cause of Kalmāṣapāda’s Niyoga under a Curse
तस्यां संजनयामास कुरुं संवरणो नृपः । तपत्यां तपतां श्रेष्ठ तापत्यस्त्वं ततोडर्जुन,तपस्वीजनोंमें श्रेष्ठ अर्जुन! महाराज संवरणने तपतीके गर्भसे कुरुको उत्पन्न किया था; अतः उसी वंशमें जन्म लेनेके कारण आपलोग तापत्य हुए
tasyāṁ sañjanayāmāsa kuruṁ saṁvaraṇo nṛpaḥ | tapatyāṁ tapatāṁ śreṣṭha tāpatyās tvaṁ tato ’rjuna ||
Vua Saṃvaraṇa đã sinh ra Kuru với hoàng hậu Tapatī. Vì thế, hỡi Arjuna—bậc tối thắng giữa những người khổ hạnh—do ngươi sinh trong chính dòng ấy, ngươi được gọi là Tāpatya, hậu duệ của Tapatī.

Educational Q&A
The verse grounds social and royal identity in lineage: Arjuna and the Kurus are called Tāpatyas because their dynastic ancestor Kuru was born from King Saṁvaraṇa and Tapatī. It emphasizes legitimacy and inherited identity through recognized genealogical descent.
A Gandharva explains to Arjuna the origin of the Kuru line: Saṁvaraṇa fathered Kuru on Tapatī, and thus those born in that line—including Arjuna—are designated Tāpatya, ‘descendants of Tapatī.’
