भद्रवटगमनम् — स्कन्देन महिषदानवनिग्रहः
Bhadravaṭa Procession and Skanda’s Neutralization of Mahiṣa
बृहद्रथस्य प्रणिधि: काश्यपस्य महत्तर: । भानुरज्धिरसो धीर: पुत्रो वर्चस्य सौभर:
bṛhadrathasya praṇidhiḥ kāśyapasya mahattaraḥ | bhānur aṅgirasaḥ dhīraḥ putro varcasya saubharaḥ ||
马尔坎德耶说道：由布里哈德罗陀（Bṛhadratha）的一分，生出普罗尼地（Praṇidhi）；由迦叶波（Kaśyapa）的一分，生出摩诃多罗（Mahattara）；由安吉罗萨（Aṅgiras）的一分，生出坚毅的婆奴（Bhānu）；由瓦尔恰斯（Varcas）的一分，生出名为娑乌婆罗（Saubhara）的儿子。如此，谱系以“分德”相承，显明功德与圣力的延续。

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the continuity of dharmic and spiritual inheritance: descendants are presented as arising from the ‘aṃśa’ (portion) of revered ancestors, suggesting that virtue, authority, and sacred potency are transmitted through lineage and disciplined tradition.
Mārkaṇḍeya is recounting a genealogical sequence, naming sons and associating each with an earlier eminent figure (Bṛhadratha, Kaśyapa, Aṅgiras, Varcas), thereby situating the characters within a recognized rishi/royal lineage framework.
