Answer

The 63 Śalākā Puruṣas have:

• 63 fathers
• 63 mothers

So, the total number of parents is 126.

Explanation

Each of the 63 Śalākā Puruṣas has:

• 1 father
• 1 mother

So the calculation is:

• 63 × 1 father = 63 fathers
• 63 × 1 mother = 63 mothers

Therefore:

• 63 + 63 = 126 total parents

Spiritual Understanding
