भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
समुत्पत्स्यति गोविन्दो मनोर्वशे महात्मन: । अड्ढजी नाम मनो: पुत्रो अन्तर्थामा ततः पर:
samutpatsyati govindo manor vaṁśe mahātmanaḥ | aṅgo nāma manoḥ putro ’ntardhāmā tataḥ paraḥ ||
自在天说道：“戈文达（Govinda）将兴起（降生）于大心摩奴（Manu）之族系。摩奴将有一子名安伽（Aṅga）；其后又有后裔名安达尔达摩（Antardhāmā）。”就上下文而言，此段呈现一条天意所定的谱系：主之降世被置于由达摩淬炼的王族之中，为扶持诸天并复兴正法秩序。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that divine intervention (Govinda’s manifestation) is aligned with dharma and occurs through a righteous lineage, underscoring the ethical ideal that kingship and social order are sanctified when rooted in dharma.
Īśvara is describing a future (or foretold) descent of Govinda within Manu’s dynasty, naming key figures in the line—Aṅga and then Antardhāmā—thereby situating the avatāra within a specific royal genealogy.
