Chapter 13: The Story of Nimi and the Dynasty of his Son Mithila.

(9) Shunning to be falsely united do spiritual philosophers [jnânis] neither desire to get into contact that way nor to be of the service of the great saints absorbed in thoughts about the Lord at the lotus feet [see bhajan].

 

Chapter 14: King Purûravâ Enchanted by Urvasî

(44-45) Going to where he left his sthâli-woman saw he that an Asvattha had sprouted from the inside of a Samî tree. From the both of them made he, desiring to get to were Urvas'î was, two sticks [to ignite fire] and meditated he, the master of the kingdom, with mantras [*] on Urvas'î as the lower stick, himself as the upper one and what was between them as the child he had begotten.


Chapter 15: Paras'urâma, the Lord's Warrior Incarnation

(26) In his conceitedness encouraged he his men to steal the sage his cow of plenty that by them was taken to Mâhishmatî with the calf crying of the violence.


Chapter 16: How Lord Paras'urâma Came to Destroy the Ruling Class Twenty-one Times

(17) Because a brahmin had been killed went Paras'urâma to Mâhishmatî [the capital] to the doom of them: he severed all their heads, o King, and made in the middle of the town a great pile of them.


Chapter 17: The Dynasties of the Sons of Purûravâ

(1-3) The son of Vyâsa said: 'Of one son of Purûravâ, Âyu, there were the powerful sons Nahusha, Kshatravriddha, Rajî, Râbha and Anenâ. O royal ruler hear now about the dynasty of Kshatravriddha. Of Kshatravriddha's son Suhotra there were three sons: Kâs'ya, Kus'a and Gritsamada. From Gritsamada there was S'unaka and from him came S'aunaka, a muni most excellent in the sacred [Rig Veda] verses.


Chapter 18: King Yayâti Regains His Youth

(9) Seeing Lord S'iva pass by with the goddess [Pârvatî] seated on his bull got the young girls quickly out of the water ashamed covering themselves with their garments.


(36) S'ukra angry with him said: 'You womanizing deceitful man, may you fool enter the old of age that disfigures the human body.'
