तमिक्ष्वाकुमयोध्यायां राजानं विद्धि पूर्वकम्।इक्ष्वाकोस्तु सुतश्श्रीमान् कुक्षिरित्येव विश्रुत:।।1.70.22।।
tam ikṣvākum ayodhyāyāṁ rājānaṁ viddhi pūrvakam |
ikṣvākoḥ tu sutaḥ śrīmān kukṣir ity eva viśrutaḥ || 1.70.22 ||
当知伊克湿伐拘(Ikṣvāku)乃阿踰陀(Ayodhyā)最早的祖先之王。伊克湿伐拘之子,光荣显赫者,名闻为库克希(Kukṣi)。
Kasyapa begot Vivasvan and Vivasvan, Manu. Ikshavaku was the son of Manuotherwise called Prajapati or Vaivasvata.
Dharma is continuity of rightful rule: naming the first king and his successor underscores orderly succession rather than arbitrary power.
Vasiṣṭha anchors the Ikṣvāku line specifically in Ayodhyā and moves to the next generation (Kukṣi).
Legitimacy through orderly succession—an implied ideal of stable kingship.
