Adhyaya 63 — The Birth of Svarocis and the Rescue of Manoramā: The Astra-Heart and the Healing of Curses
स्वायम्भुवो वसिष्ठाय सिद्धवर्याय दत्तवान् ।
तेनापि दत्तं मन्मातुः पित्रे चित्रायुधाय वै ॥
svāyambhuvo vasiṣṭhāya siddhavaryāya dattavān | tenāpi dattaṃ manmātuḥ pitre citrāyudhāya vai ||
Svāyambhuva đã trao nó cho Vasiṣṭha, bậc tối thượng trong hàng các bậc thành tựu. Vị ấy lại trao cho ngoại tổ của ta là Citrāyudha.
Sacred power is framed as entrusted heritage: it is carried through recognized exemplars (Vasiṣṭha) and responsibly handed down, emphasizing continuity and legitimacy over improvisation.
This is not a vaṃśa list in the formal purāṇic sense, but it resembles micro-vaṃśānucarita (line-of-transmission narrative) used to validate a mantra/teaching.
The ‘right channel’ (adhikāra) is highlighted: siddhas and seers serve as conduits ensuring the teaching remains efficacious and not corrupted by egoic misuse.
