Here the very name "putra" is explained -- the one who saves from the hell called "put". It is telling how it is expounded: the son [putra] delivers the father from the hell of "put": the continuation of the line is held to be a path to the good of both the ancestors and oneself. So it is disclosed that care for offspring is not a merely worldly matter, but a spiritual one as well. So the scripture reveals the meaning of the son's name; and Mandapala will now turn toward begetting children.
