Bhīṣma-Satyavatī-saṃvāda(ḥ) ("conversation of Bh° and S."). § 168 (cf. Vicitravīryoparama): *Satyavatī* in vain asked Bhīṣma to ascend the throne and marry the widows of Vicitravīrya, in order to propagate the race (I, 103). *Bhīṣma* adduced the examples of Paraçu-Rāma (§ 169) and of Dīrghatamas (§ 170). — § 171: "Thus many kṣattriyas have sprung from the seed of brahmans." Vyāsa raised offspring in the widows of Vicitravīrya (v. Vicitravīryasutotpatti, § 171).
