Translation
The son of Ṛta was Śunaka, the son of Śunaka was Vītahavya, the son of Vītahavya was Dhṛti, and the son of Dhṛti was Bahulāśva. The son of Bahulāśva was Kṛti, and his son was Mahāvaśī.
Personal Guidance
Śunaka, Vītahavya, Dhṛti, Bahulāśva, Kṛti, Mahāvaśī — the line continues to its end. The Bhāgavatam will close this dynasty, and we should not take eternal continuation for granted in any of our own lines.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I assuming a structure in my life will continue indefinitely?
- What sober preparation for closure could I make today?
