kanyā bhūtvā ca lokānsvān punarāpsyasi durlabhān
parāśarasya vīryeṇa putramekamavāpsyasi //
"In heaven, a celestial being has to reap the fruit of his deeds, in the same celestial form. Celestial beings instantly reap the harvest of their actions, only the beings residing on the earth reap the fruits of some of their actions in other forms after death. Daughter! on account of your ignoble wish, you will be born from the womb of a fish in the 28th Dwâpara, and will become the daughter of Vasu. After that, you will return to your region. In an island covered with a number of jujube trees (Badarikâśrama) you will beget, through Parâśara, a son, named Bâdarâyaṇa, who will be a particle of Viṣṇu and will divide the Veda into several parts. You will beget two sons, Chitrâṅgada and Vichîtravirya, by becoming the queen of king Śântanu a portion of sea, and having begotten these two Kṣetraja sons to that wise one, you will again return to the region of the Piṭris, in the form of Prauṣṭha aṣṭakâ. You will be known as Satyavatî on earth, and as Aṣṭakâ in Piṭrilôka. You will be the giver of longevity, of health and fruits of all desires. After some time, you will become the holy and celebrated Achchhodâ river in the world".—11-20.
