Vaishampayana said : O descendant of the Kuru race, when Bhishma said this, Kali (Satyavati) thought of the Rishi Krishna Dvaipayana Dvaipayana, who was then interpreting the Vedas, came at once to his mother without any body knowing it, as soon as he found that he had been thought of. She (Satyavati), having welcomed her son in all due forms, embraced him with her arms and bathed him with her breast milk. The daughter of the fisherman (Satyavati) shed much tears to see her son after a long time.
वैशम्पायन उवाच ततस्तस्मिन् प्रतिज्ञाते भीष्मेण कुरुनन्दन॥ कृष्णद्वैपायनं काली चिन्तयामास वै मुनिम्। स वेदान् विब्रुवन् धीमान् मातुर्विज्ञाय चिन्तितम्॥ प्रादुर्बभूवाविदितः क्षणेन कुरुनन्दन। तस्मै पूजां ततः कृत्वा सुताय विधिपूर्वकम्॥ परिष्वज्य च बाहुभ्यां प्रस्रवैरभ्यषिञ्चता मुमोच बाष्पं दाशेयी पुत्रं दृष्ट्वा चिरस्य तु॥
