Brahmā told Vasiṣṭha. “You penetrate the brightness of Mitrāvaruṇas and stay there. In due course you will get a birth which is not of a womb.” Hearing these words, Vasiṣṭha reached the hermitage of Mitrāvaruṇas. He left his body there and fused himself into their effulgence. During this period Urvaśī came to that hermitage. Seeing her, Mitrāvaruṇas had seminal flow. The semen fell in a pot. From the pot two bright and handsome sons were born. The first of them was Agastya and the second Vasiṣṭha.
