*anur uvāca
jīrṇaḥ śiśurivādatte kāle 'nnamaśuciryathā
na juhoti ca kāle 'gniṃ tāṃ jarāṃ nābhikāmaye //

The king then put the same proposition before his son, Anu, who also, like his other brothers, discarded it, saying that he could not force the old age upon him, in course, of which a man, like an infant, takes his meals in spite of his remaining defiled all the time, and is not able perform a sacrifice at any moment. The king pronounced a curse on him, as well, saying, that being his son, he did not accede to his proposal and that he would, also sooner or later, be visited with the old age, which he decried and his progeny, born in his youth, would not survive.—21-24.
