TRANSLATION

Your son will be the head of all the perfected souls. He will be approved by the acaryas expert in disseminating real knowledge, and among the people He will be celebrated by the name Kapila. As the son of Devahuti, He will increase your fame.

PURPORT

Saṅkhya philosophy is the philosophical system enunciated by Kapila, the son of Devahuti. The other Kapila, who is not the son of Devahuti, is an imitation. This is the statement of Brahma, and because we belong to Brahma's disciplic succession we should accept his statement that the real Kapila is the son of Devahuti and that real saṅkhya philosophy is the system of philosophy which He introduced and which will be accepted by the acaryas, the directors of spiritual discipline. The word susammata means accepted by persons who are counted upon to give their good opinion.
