c5.s1.262.4

Bhrgu's son was Kavi, and Kavi's son was the planet Çukra (or do Kavi, Kaviputra, and Çukra signify one and the same person, which seems to be the opinion of PCR.?), who was appointed by Svayambhū to give and withhold rain, and to inflict and remit calamities, and who by the power of asceticism (yogācāryo) became the guru of the Daityas and of the gods.—§ 122: As he (Çukra) was thus employed by Vidhi (i.e. Brahmán) in seeking welfare (yogakṣemāya), Bhrgu begat Cyavana, who, falling out of his mother's womb through anger, released her (cf. § 20). Cyavana's wife was Ārushi, daughter of Manu; their son Aurva came out ripping open the thigh of Ārushi.
