c5.s3.227.3

Surrounded by Çarmiṣṭhā and 2,000 maidens, Devayānī one day again met Yayāti, who at her request received her in marriage from Çukra, and promised that he would never invite Çarmiṣṭhā to share his bed (I, 81): I, 78, 3284, 3285, (3285), 3290, (3297), 3302, (3303), 3307, (3309), 3314; 79, 3319, 3321, (3326); 80, 3341, 3343, 3344, (3345), 3346, (3347), 3348, 3350, 3351, (3354), 3356, (3357); 81, 3359, 3363, 3364, (3367), (3370), (3373), (3375), 3376, (3377), (3379), (3382), (3385), 3386, (3388), 3392, 3395.—§ 147: Devayānī gave birth to a son. After 1,000 years had elapsed, Çarmiṣṭhā attained to puberty and prevailed upon Yayāti to beget a son also with her (I, 82); to Devayānī she said that she had born the child to a *ṛṣi* whose name she had not dared to ask. The sons of Devayānī were Yadu and Turvasu, those of Çarmiṣṭhā were Druhyu, Anu, and Pūru. One day, when Devayānī was walking in the wood together with Yayāti, she met the children of Çarmiṣṭhā and asked them: "Who is your father?" They then pointed to Yayāti. Devayānī in anger withdrew to Uçanas, followed by Yayāti. Uçanas cursed Yayāti to be overcome by decrepitude, yet with the permission of transferring it to someone else, and he added that that son of Yayāti who would give him his own youth should succeed Yayāti on the throne, etc. (I, 83): I, 82, 3397, 3398, 3400, 3401, 3404, 3411, 3419;
