तस्याहुकश्चाहुकी च कन्या चैवाहुकात्मजौ । देवकश्चोग्रसेनश्च चत्वारो देवकात्मजा: ॥ २१ ॥ देववानुपदेवश्च सुदेवो देववर्धन: । तेषां स्वसार: सप्तासन् धृतदेवादयो नृप ॥ २२ ॥ शान्तिदेवोपदेवा च श्रीदेवा देवरक्षिता । सहदेवा देवकी च वसुदेव उवाह ता: ॥ २३ ॥
tasyāhukaś cāhukī ca kanyā caivāhukātmajau devakaś cograsenaś ca catvāro devakātmajāḥ
普那尔婆苏有一子一女,名阿呼迦与阿呼姬。阿呼迦有二子:提婆迦与乌格罗塞那。提婆迦有四子:提婆梵、优波提婆、苏提婆、提婆伐尔陀那;又有七女:持德婆(长女)、善提德婆、优波德婆、室利德婆、提婆罗叉提、娑诃德婆与提婆姬。圣主奎师那之父瓦苏提婆迎娶了这些姊妹。
In this chapter’s genealogy, Ugrasena is listed among the prominent descendants in the Yadu line, later known as a key figure in Mathura’s royal history connected to Krishna’s pastimes.
He establishes the sacred historical context for Krishna’s appearance and associates, showing how divine pastimes unfold through specific dynastic lines.
By remembering Krishna’s descent and associates as real sacred history, one strengthens śraddhā (faith) and deepens attentive hearing (śravaṇam) of Bhagavatam.
