Being without progeny, the king solicited the aid of the sage Aurva with great earnestness, and the Muni pronounced this boon, that one wife should bear one son, the upholder of his race, and the other should give birth to sixty thousand sons; and he left it to them to make their election. Kesiní chose to have the single son; Sumati the multitude: and it came to pass in a short time that the former bore Asamanjas, a prince through whom the dynasty continued; and the daughter of Vinatá (Sumati) had sixty thousand sons. The son of Asamanjas was Anśumat. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 4.4.2.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4.2.p1) - [Next: 4.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4.4) - [Up: 4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.4.4.1) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.4.4.p1) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Ātmaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!sridhara) — Śrīdhara Svāmin, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇucittīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!visnucitta) — Sanskrit - [Vaiṣṇavakūṭacandrikā Viṣṇupurāṇaṭīkā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!ratnagarbha) — Ratnagarbhamiśra, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.4.4.3) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.4.3) · Pramāṇa
