7. Former birth of Aditi. During the former years (period) of Svāyambhuva Manu the Prajāpati called Sutapas, along with his wife Pṛśni did Tapas for 12000 years. Then Mahāviṣṇu appeared before them, and Pṛśni prayed for a son like Viṣṇu himself, and Mahāviṣṇu was born as her son named Pṛśnigarbha. This story is related by Śrī Kṛṣṇa to his mother on his birth as the son of Vasudeva. (Bhāgavata, Daśama Skandha, Chapter 3).
