Verse 41

³⁶Sukra said to him in anger: Man of lies, hungry after women, let old age enter you, dull creature, which takes the shape away from men. ³⁷Brahmin, I have not had my fill of desires with your daughter yet. Let it be traded off as one pleases, against the years of whoever will agree to it. ³⁸Having got that leave, he said to his eldest son: Yadu, my child, take this old age of mine, and give me your own years instead. ³⁹Your mother's father brought it on me, child. I have not had my fill of the things of sense. With your years I will enjoy myself some few years more. ⁴⁰I have not the heart to stand about in an old age that has come to me before its time. Without knowing common pleasure a man does not come to the end of his thirst for it.

⁴¹Turvasu, urged by his father, and Druhyu, and Anu, Bharata, all said no to him. They did not know dharma, and took what does not last for lasting.
