After this, the Rishi named Charushirsha, that dear friend of Shakra and known also as Alambana's son and who is filled with mercy, said I in former days went to the mountains of Gokarna and sat myself to practise hard austerities for a hundred years. As the reward of those penances, I got from Sharva, O son of king Pandu, a hundred sons, all of whom were born without the agency of woman of wellcontrolled soul, conversant with righteousness, gifted with great splendour, free from disease and sorrow, and endued with lives extending for a hundred thousand years.
प्रीतश्च भगवान् ज्ञानं ददौ मम भवान्तकम्। चारुशीर्षस्ततः प्राह शक्रस्य दयितः सखा। आलम्बायन इत्येवं विश्रुतः करुणात्मकः॥ मया गोकर्णमासाद्य तपस्तत्वा शतं समाः। अयोनिजानां दान्तानां धर्मज्ञानां सुवर्चसाम्॥ अजराणामदुःखानां शतवर्षसहस्रिणाम्। लब्धं पुत्रशतं शर्वात् पुरा पाण्डुनृपात्मज॥
