In Akuti and in Devahuti, the two daughters of that Manu, the Bhagavan became a son, so that dharma and knowledge might be taught. What Kapila the Bhagavan did has been described already. Now I will tell what the Bhagavan as Yajna did, carrier of the Kurus. The lord, husband of Satarupa, turned away from desires and their pleasures, gave up his kingdom, and with his wife went into the forest for austerity. On the Sunanda for a hundred years, touching the ground with one foot only, burning in a terrible austerity, he spoke these words, Bharata.
