Verse 23

¹⁸And her mind was carried off by the intelligence, the character, the beauty, the youth, the splendour and the openhandedness of that leader of heroes; so with him, the lord of Jambudvipa, she enjoyed the pleasures of earth and of heaven for a time counted at ten thousand times ten thousand years. ¹⁹On her that best of kings, Agnidhra, begot nine sons: Nabhi, Kimpurusa, Harivarsa, Ilavrta, Ramyaka, Hiranmaya, Kuru, Bhadrasva and Ketumala. ²⁰Having borne the nine sons, one in each year, Purvacitti left them where they were, in the house, and went back again to wait upon the unborn god. ²¹Those sons of Agnidhra, by their mother's favour well knit and strong from birth, were given their shares by their father, and each enjoyed the country of Jambudvipa that carried his own name.

²²King Agnidhra was never filled with what he wanted. Day after day he thought of that woman of heaven and of no one else, and by the rites he won a place in her world, where the fathers take their delight. ²³When their father had gone, the nine brothers married nine daughters of Meru, whose names were Merudevi, Pratirupa, Ugradamstri, Lata, Ramya, Syama, Nari, Bhadra and Devaviti.
