tābhyāmārādhitaḥ pūrvam aurvo 'gniḥ putrakāmyayā
aurvastuṣṭastayoḥ prādād yatheṣṭaṃ varamuttamam //

Both the queens of Sagara, desirous of [begetting] sons, propitiated the sage, Aûrva Agni, who became pleased and said that he would bless one to beget sixty thousand sons and the other he would bless to beget only one son, who would continue the line of the Solar race. They were welcome to make a choice for themselves. Prabhâ wished to be the mother of sixty thousand sons.—39-41. Bhânumati begot a son, named Asamañjasa, and Prabhâ of the family of Yadu, became the mother of sixty thousand sons.—42.
