Sandhi Resolution Notes: राज्ञोभवद्भार्या→राज्ञः अभवत् भार्या; सुदेवस्यात्मजा→सुदेवस्य आत्मजा; सन्नतिर्नाम→सन्नतिः नाम; कपिलायाभवत्पुरा→कपिलायाः अभवत् पुरा
Sannati is described as the daughter of Sudeva who becomes the wife of the (unnamed) king; she is also said to have been known earlier as Kapilā.
It indicates a prior identity or earlier name—i.e., that Sannati was formerly known as Kapilā, a common Purāṇic way of linking identities across time.
It serves a genealogical and narrative-linking purpose: introducing a queen’s lineage (daughter of Sudeva) and connecting her to an earlier identity (Kapilā) to maintain continuity in the Purāṇic account.
