इक्ष्वाकुर्नभगश्चैव धृष्ट: शर्यातिरेव च । नरिष्यन्तोऽथ नाभाग: सप्तमो दिष्ट उच्यते ॥ २ ॥ तरूषश्च पृषध्रश्च दशमो वसुमान्स्मृत: । मनोर्वैवस्वतस्यैते दशपुत्रा: परन्तप ॥ ३ ॥
ikṣvākur nabhagaś caiva dhṛṣṭaḥ śaryātir eva ca nariṣyanto ’tha nābhāgaḥ saptamo diṣṭa ucyate
帕利克希特王啊,毗婆斯瓦特·摩奴的十位儿子中,有伊克什瓦库、那婆伽、德里什塔、舍利亚提、那利什延塔与那婆伽;第七子称为迪什塔。随后是塔卢沙与普里沙陀罗,第十子被称作瓦苏曼。
This verse lists Vaivasvata Manu’s ten sons as Ikṣvāku, Nabhaga, Dhṛṣṭa, Śaryāti, Nariṣyanta, Nābhāga, Diṣṭa, Tarūṣa, Pṛṣadhra, and Vasumān.
In the context of describing manvantaras (administrations of Manus), Śukadeva outlines the dynastic lines and notable figures through whom dharma, kingship, and the Lord’s arrangements unfold in history.
They help a devotee see how divine order (dharma) is maintained through time, connect major avatars and saintly kings to their lineages, and cultivate faith that the Lord guides human society across ages.
