In time young hatched from them, their limbs shaped by the powers of Hari, which are hard to think out, and the down soft on their soft bodies. The two, husband and wife, tender toward their children, fed their young with delight, listening to their cooing and at rest in that soft speech. By their feathers, soft to the touch, by their cooing and their charming ways, and by their coming out to meet them, the parents of those cheerful young took joy. Their hearts tied to each other by love, bewildered by Visnu's maya and brought low in mind, they went on feeding the little ones, their children. One day the two of them, keeping their household, went to get food for the young, and wandered a long while about that wood, hunting for it.

Some hunter who went about the forest saw the young by chance as they moved near their own home, spread a net and caught them.
