Duḥṣanta–Śakuntalā: Gandharva Marriage and Succession Condition
सेनाबिन्दुरिति ख्यात: स बभूव नराधिप: । इषुपान्नाम यस्तेषामसुराणां बलाधिक:
senābindur iti khyātaḥ sa babhūva narādhipaḥ | iṣupād nāma yas teṣām asurāṇāṃ balādhikaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“在他们之中，那位以‘军滴（Senābindu）’闻名者，降生于人间为王。又有名为‘伊输帕陀（Iṣupād）’的阿修罗——在诸阿修罗中以力最胜——也在大地上以雄强之主而著称。”

Educational Q&A
The passage frames political power and worldly might as part of a larger cosmic cycle: beings of Asuric nature can be born among humans as kings, implying that lineage and rulership may carry moral tendencies that must be disciplined by dharma.
Vaiśampāyana continues a catalog describing how various Asuras took birth on earth as human rulers; in this verse he identifies Senābindu as a king and notes Iṣupād as the strongest among those Asuras, setting up his corresponding human manifestation in the surrounding narration.
