dhenvāḥ prasūyamānāyāḥ phalaṃ dānasya me śrutam
kṛṣṇājinapradānaṃ ca vṛṣotsargastathaiva ca //
Manu said :—Janârdana ! I have heard the doings of the son of Budha and have also heard the ways of performing sacred Śrâddha that dispels all sins. I have heard the benefits of giving away a milch cow, a black deer skin, and the ways of letting loose a bull (at the end of funeral rites); but O Keśava ! my curiosity is awakened on hearing about the beauty of the son of Budha. Pray now tell me what I ask. By virtue of what acts did he become so handsome and prosperous? How is it that Urvaśî became so much attached to him in preference to all the Devas of the three worlds as well as the beautiful Gandharvas ?—1-5.
