But he retired into the forest. .When he was living in the forest, a daughter was born to him as beautiful as an Apsara. O descendant of Bharata, Rechika, the son of Bhrigu asked her for marriage.
यत् तद् भूतहितं कार्यं सुरेन्द्रेण निवेदितम्। सम्प्रतिश्रुत्य तत् सर्वं भगवाँल्लोकपूजितः॥ जगाम बदरीं रम्यां स्वमेवाश्रममण्डलम्। एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु पृथिव्यां पृथिवीपतिः॥ कान्यकुब्जे महानासीत् पार्थिवः सुमहाबलः। गाधीति विश्रुतो लोके वनवासं जगाम ह॥ वने तु तस्य वसतः कन्या जज्ञेऽप्सर:समा। ऋचीको भार्गवस्तां च वरयामास भारत॥
