sunīthā nāma tasyāstu veno nāma sutaḥ purā
adharmanirataścāsīd balavān vasudhādhipaḥ //

Sûta said that Prajâpati Aṅga, in the family of Svâyambhuva Manu, was born who was married to the vile daughter of Mṛityu, named Sunîthâ the shrew, who gave birth to Vêna. King Vêna was valiant, but oppressive and sinful. The sages, seeing the sinful deeds of the king, who used to forcibly seize the wealth and the women of others, approached him with the object of bringing about law and order by giving him good advice.—3-5. But when the king did not listen to the good advice of the sages, they killed him by their curse. After that being afraid of anarchy, the sinless Brâhmaṇas began to churn the dead body of the king from which first came out the races of Mlechhâs.—6-7.
