Personal Guidance
Somaka has a hundred sons, of whom the youngest Pṛṣata fathers Drupada. The future of a great line can be carried by the most overlooked of its many sons.
Reflection Questions
- Whom in my circle am I overlooking who may be the actual carrier of the line?
- Where does my attention go to the eldest when the youngest is the one to watch?
