Bhadrā cried for a long while embracing the dead body of the King. Then the spirit of Vyuṣiṭāśva, without the body, said to her. "My love. Lie with me in your own bed on the eighth or fourteenth day of your menstruation. I will give you sons." She acted according to the wish of the King and got seven sons from the dead body. Her sons were three Satvas and the four Madras. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 120). - [Previous: c9.5062](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5062) - [Next: c9.5064](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5064) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5063](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.5063) · Pramāṇa
