They said to him: 'O seer, make us two share in Soma, venerable one!' 'So be it,' he said, 'but make me young again.' They dragged him into the Śaiśava [pool] of the Sarasvatī. He said: 'O maiden, all of us will emerge looking identical. Recognize me by this mark.' They all emerged looking identical, possessing the most beautiful of forms. Having recognized him, she distinguished: 'This is my husband.' They said to him: 'O seer, we have fulfilled that wish of yours which was your wish. You have become young again. Instruct us two in such a way that we two may share in Soma.'
