The king made the daughter of the river who was called Girika his wife; and Girika, the wife of Vasu, purifying herself by a bath when her season of impurity came, told her state to her husband. But that very day the ancestors of Vasu came to him;
चकार पत्नी कन्यां तु तथा तां गिरिकां नृपः। वसोः पत्नी तु गिरिका कामकालं न्यवेदयत्॥ ऋतुकालमनुप्राप्ता स्नाता पुंसवने शुचिः। तदहः पितरश्चैनमूचुर्जहि मृगानिति॥
