47Bhagavan said: In the first age there were six sons of Marici by Urna. The gods laughed at Ka when they saw him make ready to lie with his own daughter. 48For that blameworthy act they went to a demon's womb, and being born of Hiranyakasipu they were carried off by yogamaya, 49and born from Devaki's womb, king, and killed by Kamsa. She grieves for them as her own sons; and these are they, sitting close at hand. 50We shall take them from here to put an end to their mother's grief. Then, loosed from the curse, they will go to their world with the fever gone from them. 51Smara, Udgitha, Parisvanga, Patanga, Ksudrabhrt and Ghrni: these six, by my grace, will go again to the state of the good.
52Saying this and taking them up, and honoured by Indrasena, the two came again to Dvaravati and gave their mother her sons.
