ṛtukāle tu samprāpte devayānī varāṅganā
lebhe garbhaṃ prathamataḥ kumāraśca vyajāyata //

Śaunaka said:—Yayâti entered his capital, which was as beautiful as the city of Indra He then ushered Devayânî into his palace and, according to the advice of the queen, located Śarmiṣṭhâ, the daughter of King Vriṣaparvan, in a separate house in Aśokavana. Thus Śarmiṣṭhâ, along with her retinue of a thousand maids, was separated after being provided with clothes, provisions, and ornaments. Then that son of King Nahuṣa enjoyed himself like the Devas, in the company of Devayânî, for a great number of years. In the fullness of time, Devayânî conceived, and after ten months gave birth to a child.—1-5.
