瓦西什塔说道：“光辉而显赫的安吉罗萨（Aṅgiras）被称为‘阿格涅耶’（Āgneya）；而那位声名卓著的圣贤则以‘婆罗摩’（Brāhma）之名闻世。婆利古（Bhṛgu）与安吉罗萨——世间称此二者为诸族系之源标，凭其子孙而扩展造化。”

The verse highlights the dharmic idea that cosmic order and social continuity are sustained through ṛṣis and their lineages: Bhṛgu and Aṅgiras are presented as archetypal progenitors whose descendants extend creation and preserve sacred knowledge.
Vasiṣṭha is describing how eminent sages came to be known by specific epithets (Āgneya for Aṅgiras and Brāhma for a famed kavi) and then identifies Bhṛgu and Aṅgiras as foundational lineage-bearers responsible for the expansion of beings in the world.
