Which narration cleanses men of all their sins. The illustrious Bhrigu sprang forth, ripping open the breast of Brahma. Bhrigu's son was the learned Shukra, a poet himself and the son of a poet. He, being commanded by the Self-created (Brahma) to pour rain and withhold it and to dispense and remit calamities, became a planet and he (still) traverses the sky in order to sustain the lives of all creatures Yoga philosophy, that greatly intelligent man, that wise and self-controlled Brahmachari became the preceptor of the Devas and the Danavas.
यान्कीर्तयित्वा मनुजः सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते। ब्रह्मणो हृदयं भित्त्वा निःसृतौ भगवान्भृगुः॥ भृगोः पुत्रः कविर्विद्वाञ्छुक्रः कविसुतो ग्रहः। त्रैलोक्यप्राणयात्रार्थं वर्षावर्षे भयाभये। स्वयंभुवा नियुक्तः सम्भुवनं परिधावति॥ योगाचार्यो महाबुद्धिर्दैत्यानामभवद्गुरुः। सुराणां चापि मेधावी ब्रह्मचारी यतव्रतः॥
