36. (For) His seed escaped into the clumps of reed and there a pair (a male and a female) was produced; they were found by Santanu who was hunting in the forest, and he took them home out of pity; the male child was therefore called Kripa and the female called Kripi who (afterwards) became the wife of Drona.
