Kāśī princesses taken; encounter with Śālva; Ambā’s declaration
दक्षाददितिरदितेविंवस्वान् विवस्वतो मनुर्मनो-रिला इलाया: पुरूरवा: पुरूरवस आयुरायुषो नहुषो नहुषाद ययाति:; ययाते्द्धे भारयें बभूवतु:
Dakṣād Aditir, Aditer Vivasvān; Vivasvato Manuḥ; Manoḥ Ilā; Ilāyāḥ Purūravāḥ; Purūravasaḥ Āyuḥ; Āyuṣo Nahuṣaḥ; Nahuṣād Yayātiḥ; Yayāter Iḍḍhe Bhāryāyāṃ babhūvatuḥ.
毗舍波耶那说道：“由达叉生阿底提；由阿底提生毗婆斯梵（太阳神）；由毗婆斯梵生摩奴；由摩奴生伊罗；由伊罗生补卢罗婆；由补卢罗婆生阿瑜；由阿瑜生那护沙；由那护沙生耶耶提。又由耶耶提在其妻伊陀（Iḍḍhā）处得诸子。如此，王族世系依次铺陈，彰显法（dharma）在代际之间的绵延不绝。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the importance of orderly lineage (vaṃśa) as a vehicle for sustaining dharma: rulers and progenitors are remembered not merely as names, but as links in a moral and social continuity that legitimizes kingship and tradition.
Vaiśampāyana is reciting a genealogical succession: Dakṣa → Aditi → Vivasvān → Manu → Ilā → Purūravā → Āyu → Nahuṣa → Yayāti, and then notes that Yayāti had offspring through his wife Iḍḍhā, continuing the royal line.
