Pitṛavartî the youngest of all the brothers and who had performed the Śrâddha, became desirous of becoming a king; the other two brothers wished to become the courtiers of a king; the remaining four did not cherish any wish and they were consequently born as Brâhmaṇas. One of them (Pitṛivati) was born as Brâhmadatta, the son of King Vibhrâja, two brothers were born as Kaṇḍarîka and Subâlaka the sons of the king’s minister; and sometime after that, Brahmadatta was anointed and proclaimed as king.—21-24.
