tataḥ kālena sā garbhamavāpa munisattama /
gandharvavīryato rūpacintanācca dvijanmanaḥ //

Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Then with her he sported on mountain tops, which charmed the heart with their blossoming forests, and midst charming lakes, and in pleasant glens, and on sand-banks in the rivers, and in other delightsome places, with merry heart, O brāhman. With eyes closed fast during their embraces, she thought by reason of his ardour that his form was that of the young brāhman surmounted with fire. Then after a time she conceived a child, O best of munis; it took its form from the Gandharva’s energy and her dwelling in thought on the brahman. Then he having soothed Varūthinī in her pregnant condition departed, still assuming the brāhman’s shape; she gave him a loving dismissal.
