Dakṣa’s Daughters, Cosmic Lineages, and the Population of the Three Worlds
विप्रचित्ति: सिंहिकायां शतं चैकमजीजनत् । राहुज्येष्ठं केतुशतं ग्रहत्वं य उपागता: ॥ ३७ ॥
vipracittiḥ siṁhikāyāṁ śataṁ caikam ajījanat rāhu-jyeṣṭhaṁ ketu-śataṁ grahatvaṁ ya upāgatāḥ
毗普罗奇提与妻子辛希迦生了一百零一个儿子;长子名罗睺,其余一百名为计都。他们全都获得了具影响力的行星之位。
This verse states that Vipracitti and Siṁhikā had 101 sons: Rāhu as the eldest, and the other hundred known as Ketu, who attained the status of grahas (celestial influencers/planets).
Śukadeva Gosvāmī speaks this verse while describing the genealogies arising from Dakṣa’s descendants, including notable beings connected with cosmic administration.
The verse reminds a devotee that cosmic forces are also within divine order; rather than fear, one can cultivate steadiness through dharma and bhakti, seeing all influences as ultimately under the Supreme Lord’s control.
