Adhyaya 73 — The Uttama Manvantara: Classes of Devas, Indra Sushanti, and the Royal Lineage
तत्सूतिसम्भवैर्भूमिः पालिताभून्नरेश्वरैः ।
यावन्मन्वन्तर तस्य मनोरुत्तमतेजसः ॥
tatsūtisambhavair bhūmiḥ pālitābhūn nareśvaraiḥ | yāvan manvantara tasya manor uttamatejasaḥ ||
Nhờ các vị vua sinh từ dòng dõi của ngài, trái đất được che chở, chừng nào manvantara của vị Manu rực rỡ, cao quý ấy còn tiếp diễn.
The king’s archetypal duty is bhū-pālana (protection of the earth and subjects); governance is treated as a sacred continuity aligned with cosmic time-cycles.
Manvantara and Vaṃśa: it links the Manu-era to the sustaining royal line that operates within it.
‘Earth protected throughout the Manvantara’ implies dharma as a stabilizing force that must be renewed generation by generation to match the rhythm of cosmic cycles.
