Personal Guidance
Nighna's sons are Satrājita and Prasena — names that will later be central to the Syamantaka jewel story. The Bhāgavatam quietly lays the foundation for stories that will need this background.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I dismissing 'mere background' that will turn out to be essential context?
- What scriptural background reading would unlock my appreciation of a story I already enjoy?
