The son of Śānti was Suśānti, the son of Suśānti was Puruja, and the son of Puruja was Arka. From Arka came Bharmyāśva, and from Bharmyāśva came five sons — Mudgala, Yavīnara, Bṛhadviśva, Kāmpilla and Sañjaya. Bharmyāśva prayed to his sons, “O my sons, please take charge of my five states, for you are quite competent to do so.” Thus his five sons were known as the Pañcālas. From Mudgala came a dynasty of brāhmaṇas known as Maudgalya.

Translation
The son of Śānti was Suśānti, the son of Suśānti was Puruja, and the son of Puruja was Arka. From Arka came Bharmyāśva, and from Bharmyāśva came five sons—Mudgala, Yavīnara, Bṛhadviśva, Kāmpilla and Sañjaya. Bharmyāśva prayed to his sons, “O my sons, please take charge of my five states, for you are quite competent to do so.” Thus his five sons were known as the Pañcālas. From Mudgala came a dynasty of brāhmaṇas known as Maudgalya.
Personal Guidance
Bharmyāśva entrusts his five sons with five states, and they become the Paṣcālas. From Mudgala comes the brāhmaṇa Maudgalya line. The Bhāgavatam cheerfully tracks how lines branch and rename — identity is layered.
Reflection Questions
- Where in my circle is there a 'Paṣcāla'-style branching that I should bless rather than try to keep unified?
- What new identity-layer is one of my projects developing that deserves a name?
