*śaunaka uvāca
evamuktastayā rājā tathyam ityabhijajñivān
pūjayāmāsa śarmiṣṭhāṃ dharmaṃ ca pratipādayan //

Śaunaka said:—Hearing those words of Śarmiṣṭhâ, the king accepted her and guarded her virtue. They then enjoyed themselves in each other’s company and were immensely pleased. Through that conjunction, the daughter of Vṛiṣaparvan, conceived and gave birth to illustrious sons gleaming with the radiance of the sun.—24-27.
