He was suffering from the pangs of hunger and his inner soul seemed perched with thirst. He then entered the hermitage of Bhrigu. O king of kings, on that very night, the great Rishi, who was the delight of Bhrigu's race, had performed a religious ceremony with the object of getting a son born to Sudyumana. A large vessel was there filled with water which was consecrated with mantras and which had been previously deposited there. The water was endued with the virtue of making the wife of Yuvanashava conceive a son equal to Indra.
पिपासाशुष्कहदयः प्रविवेशाश्रमं भृगोः। तामेव रात्रिं राजेन्द्र महात्मा भृगुनन्दनः॥ इष्टिं चकार सौद्युम्नेर्महर्षिः पुत्रकारणात्। सम्भृतो मन्त्रपूतेन वारिणा कलशो महान्॥ तत्रातिष्ठत राजेन्द्र पूर्वमेव समाहितः। यत् प्राश्य प्रसवेत् तस्य पत्नी शक्रसमं सुतम्॥
