hare Krishna to all the devotees 

All glories to srila Prabhupada 

 

ŚB 2.7.2

jāto rucer ajanayat suyamān suyajña

ākūti-sūnur amarān atha dakṣiṇāyām

loka-trayasya mahatīm aharad yad ārtiṁ

svāyambhuvena manunā harir ity anūktaḥ

Translation

The Prajāpati first begot Suyajña in the womb of his wife Ākūti, and then Suyajña begot demigods, headed by Suyama, in the womb of his wife Dakṣiṇā. Suyajña, as the Indradeva, diminished very great miseries in the three planetary systems [upper, lower and intermediate], and because he so diminished the miseries of the universe, he was later called Hari by the great father of mankind, namely Svāyambhuva Manu.

    Hare Krishna,

    Brahma created first couple ( Manu and Shatrupa) and gave them permission to create progency and populate the earth.

    they had  2 sons and 3 daughters

    2 sons were- Priyvrata and Uttana pada

    3 daughters - Akuti, prasooti and devahuti

    Akuti married Prajapati Ruchi and they had a twins - one son and one daughter Suyajna and Dakshina respectively.

    Now Suyajna got married to his sister Dakshina ( now don't take literally they are brother and sister) but consider that Suyajna is symbolic to Sacrifical fire and Dakshina is offering given to the sacrifical fire.

    Suyajna is therefore Vishnu Himself as Vishnu says in Bhagwad gita

     
    dharma iṣṭaṁ dhanaṁ nṝṇāṁ
    yajño ’haṁ bhagavattamaḥ
    dakṣiṇā jñāna-sandeśaḥ
    prāṇāyāmaḥ paraṁ balam  ( 11. 19. 36-39)
     
     The true desirable wealth for human beings is religiousness, and I, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, am sacrifice. Religious remuneration is devotion to the ācārya with the purpose of acquiring spiritual instruction, and the greatest strength is the prāṇāyāma system of breath control.
     
    That means Lord Vishnu himself came as Suyajna and Dakshina is offered to Him as a sacrifical offering.  Suyajna as Indradeva  ( Lord of rains)  diminished the miseries in
    the three planetary systems.
     

    Bg. 3.14

    अन्नाद्भ‍वन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसम्भवः ।
    यज्ञा‍द्भ‍‍वति पर्जन्यो यज्ञः कर्मसमुद्भ‍वः ॥ १४ ॥
     
    All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajña [sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.
     
    So Suyajna who came as Indradeva ( lord of rains) ater marrying Dakshina as offering unto HIM .. he removed the problems and miseries of the universe.. Because Rains are essential for producing food grains.  SO SUYAJNA IS called as as SRI HARI by his great father ( grand father) who was Svayambhu Manu.

    Hope you understood.
    Hare Krishna.

      Ok i understand, thank you for explanation and also this is interesting to know to dhruva maharaj and maa sati are cousins, but understandable that both are devotees.

    Hare Krishna Akshit Prabhu

    The necessary explanation is given by Srila Prabupada. Further detail is not necessary. The Purport is especially significant. The name of the father and place is mentioned for authorised incarnation of Lord.

    Hari bol

    • Akshit > Krishna das November 15, 2025 at 8:16am

      Ok it's just is the name hari, is it actually lord Hari? 

      • Krishna das > Akshit November 15, 2025 at 8:20am

        It is actually Lord Hari who functioned as Indradeva during that period.

        Hari bol
