c8.61

“Atri gave his children to the son of Urva, who longed for a son. Then he felt lonely, and saw that he was without power, weak, and decrepit. He saw this Chatûrâtra; he took it and sacrificed with it. Four sons were born to him from it,—a good Hotṛi, a good Udgâtṛi, a good Adhvaryu, and a good Brahman.”
