mahīdhrakasuto rājā kīrtirāto mahābalaḥ |
kīrtirātasya rājarṣer mahāromā vyajāyata || 1.71.11 ||
由摩希陀罗迦诞生了大力之王吉尔提罗多;而这位王仙吉尔提罗多又诞生了摩诃罗摩。
Mighty king Kirtirata was the son of Mahidhraka. He was a Rajarshi, father of Maharoma.
The rājarṣi ideal: kingship is validated not merely by power but by sage-like righteousness, implying rule aligned with dharma and truth.
Janaka continues listing his ancestors, highlighting a predecessor honored as a rājarṣi.
Righteous kingship—strength (bala) harmonized with ethical and spiritual stature (rājarṣi).
