Lord Śiva Instructs the Pracetās (Śiva-stuti and the Path of Bhakti)
हविर्धानाद्धविर्धानी विदुरासूत षट्सुतान् । बर्हिषदं गयं शुक्लं कृष्णं सत्यं जितव्रतम् ॥ ८ ॥
havirdhānād dhavirdhānī vidurāsūta ṣaṭ sutān barhiṣadaṁ gayaṁ śuklaṁ kṛṣṇaṁ satyaṁ jitavratam
安达尔达那王之子哈维尔达那娶妻哈维尔达妮;噢毗度罗,她诞下六子:巴尔希萨特、伽耶、舒克拉、克里希纳、萨提亚与吉塔弗拉塔。
They are Barhiṣad, Gaya, Śukla, Kṛṣṇa, Satya, and Jitavrata, born to Havirdhānī from Havirdhāna.
Maitreya is narrating the royal lineage connected to the broader devotional history; these family details help place later events and exemplary personalities in context.
They remind readers that dharma and devotion are carried through generations, encouraging one to preserve spiritual culture and pass it on responsibly.
