अभंगो युयुधानश्च शिनिस्तस्यात्मजोभवत् । तस्माद्युगंधरः पुत्राश्शतं तस्य प्रकीर्तिताः
abhaṃgo yuyudhānaśca śinistasyātmajobhavat | tasmādyugaṃdharaḥ putrāśśataṃ tasya prakīrtitāḥ

Unknown (narrative genealogical listing within the chapter; speaker not specified in the provided excerpt)
Concept: Continuity and responsibility increase with expansion; a ‘hundred sons’ motif signals fullness and the weight of stewardship in a growing lineage.
Application: As one’s influence grows (family, team, community), increase dharmic accountability—protect, educate, and guide rather than merely ‘multiply’.

FAQs
It records a genealogical succession: Abhaṅga and Yuyudhāna as sons of Śini, and the subsequent mention of Yugaṅdhara and his hundred sons.
Not directly; it functions primarily as a lineage note, supporting the Purāṇic aim of preserving dynastic and clan histories that contextualize later narratives.
Genealogies establish continuity between cosmic/royal histories and later events, helping anchor myths, kings, sages, and clans within an interconnected sacred chronology.
