Tell me all this in full, O best among the knowers of the entire Veda; / there is no satiety for me as I listen to the deeds of the Lord. / Sūta said: / When Vyāsa asked in this manner, Sanatkumāra, best among sages, / recounted the deeds of Śukra. / Sanatkumāra said: / When Bhārgava was swallowed by that friend of Umā and the gods, / Andhaka lost his luster, like the sun blocked by a cloud.
