Chitravahana said: "A king named Prabhankara was in this line; childless, desiring offspring, he performed the highest austerity; by that fierce austerity and humble prostration, Shankara, the Lord, was gratified by him -- Mahadeva, the husband of Uma; that lord granted him one offspring in each generation of the lineage; hence there is always but one offspring in this line."

Here the family's peculiar trait is explained as a gift from above. It is significant that the childless ancestor won offspring through austerity and the grace of Shiva: the continuation of a lineage is regarded as a gift of God, sought through tapas. And the succession of a family lies in the Lord's hand. Thus scripture shows the ancestral gift of Manipura; and this peculiarity will determine the condition of the marriage.
