Verse 36

³²She got from Durvasas, whom she had pleased, a knowledge that calls down a god. To test what it could do, she called the shining sun. ³³Seeing the god come at that very moment, her mind was struck with wonder. I used it only to see whether it worked. Go, god, and forgive me. ³⁴The sight of a god is never in vain, lady. You will carry a son within you. And I will so arrange it, slender one, that your womb is not spoiled. ³⁵So saying, the sun set a child in her and went back to the sky. At once a boy was born, like a second sun. ³⁶With great difficulty, afraid of what people would say, she let him go in the water of the river. Your great-grandfather Pandu, whose valour was true, married her.
