*śaunaka uvāca
jarāṃ prāpya yayātistu svapuraṃ prāpya caiva hi
putraṃ jyeṣṭhaṃ variṣṭhaṃ ca yadumityabravīddvijaḥ //
Śaunaka said.—On being visited with old age, King Yayâti went to his capital and said to his eldest son, Yadu, that owing to the curse of Śukra he had become old, though he had not had ample satisfaction of his desires in his youth; that he might therefore exchange his youth with his old age and thus enable him to satisfy his cravings, and that after a thousand years he would return his youth to him and take back his old age.—1-4.
