Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 26
भीष्मस्योत्तरायणप्रतीक्षा तथा युधिष्ठिरागमनम् | Bhīṣma’s uttarāyaṇa moment and Yudhiṣṭhira’s arrival
दाक्षायण्यास्तथा5<दित्यो मनुरादित्यतस्तथा । मनोश्व वंशज इला सुद्युम्नश्ष भविष्यति
dākṣāyaṇyās tathā adityo manur ādityatas tathā | manoś ca vaṁśajā ilā sudyumnaś ca bhaviṣyati ||
主说道：“由达克沙（Dakṣa）之女阿底提（Aditi），将诞生阿底提耶（Āditya，即太阳）。由阿底提耶将诞生摩奴（Manu）。在摩奴的后裔中，将有一位名为伊罗（Ilā）的女儿，日后将转化为名叫苏底尤姆那（Sudyumna）的儿子。”此段将王族谱系安置于神圣的宇宙秩序之中，昭示血脉乃承载法（dharma）与王权、代代相传之舟。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that righteous kingship and social order (dharma) are grounded in a sacred, divinely ordered lineage. By tracing descent from Aditi to the Sun to Manu, it frames human law and governance as connected to cosmic origins.
Īśvara outlines a genealogical sequence: Aditi gives rise to Āditya (the Sun), from whom Manu is born; within Manu’s line appears Ilā, who later becomes known as Sudyumna, indicating a significant transformation within the royal lineage.
