Translation
From Śamīka, brother of Vasudeva, by the womb of his wife, Sudāmanī, came Sumitra, Arjunapāla and other sons. King Ānaka, brother of Vasudeva, by his wife, Karṇikā, begot two sons, namely Ṛtadhāmā and Jaya.
Personal Guidance
Samīka and Sudāmanī, and Ānaka and Karṇikā, produce more sons of the broader Yadu network. Even brothers and uncles of Vasudeva have whole families — Kṛṣṇa enters a richly populated kin-world.
Reflection Questions
- How dense and supportive is the kin-world around my own central commitments?
- Where could I help thicken the network so that someone significant has the family they need?
