रुद्राणामपर: पक्ष: साध्यानां मरुतां तथा । वसूनां भार्गव विद्याद् विश्वेदेवांस्तथैव च,रुद्रोंका एक अलग पक्ष या गण है, साध्य, मरुत् तथा वसुओंका भी पृथक्- पृथक् गण है। इसी प्रकार भार्गव तथा विश्वेदेवणणको भी जानना चाहिये
rudrāṇām aparaḥ pakṣaḥ sādhyānāṁ marutāṁ tathā | vasūnāṁ bhārgava vidyād viśvedevāṁs tathaiva ca ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“鲁陀罗自有一支别类；同样，萨陀耶、摩鲁特与婆苏也各有其分部。亦复如是，当知婆尔伽瓦与毗湿毗天神亦各成一类。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes accurate discernment and orderly knowledge: divine beings are to be understood in distinct classes (pakṣa/gana). Such correct classification reflects a broader dharmic ideal—knowing things as they are, especially in sacred genealogies and cosmological lists.
Vaiśaṃpāyana continues a cataloging/explanatory passage, identifying that the Rudras, Sādhyas, Maruts, Vasus, Bhārgavas, and Viśvedevas each constitute distinct groups, to be recognized separately.
