Translation

My dear King! Your four sons—Janamejaya, the eldest, Śrutasena, Bhīmasena and Ugrasena—are very powerful.

Personal Guidance

Parīkṣit's four sons — Janamejaya, Śrutasena, Bhīmasena, Ugrasena — are named, with Janamejaya the eldest. Even kings who hear the Bhāgavatam at the end of life have sons who will carry on; bhakti at the end of life does not nullify ongoing dynastic responsibility.

Reflection Questions

Whose ongoing responsibility am I currently shaping by my own end-of-life choices?
How could my preparation for death include actively blessing the next generation?
