Knowing that this was the wish of my heart, that foremost of gods said to me through the fruition of that object of yours which you wish to get from me, you will have a son named Krishna. In that creation which shall be known after the name of SavarniManu, that son of yours shall be reckoned among the seven Rishis. He shall arrange the Vedas, and be the propagator of Kuru's race.
इति मत्वा हृदि मतं प्राह मां सुरसत्तमः। मयि सम्भावना यास्याः फलात्कृष्णोभविष्यति॥४२ सावर्णस्य मनोः सर्गे सप्तर्षिश्च भविष्यति। वेदानां च स वै वक्ता कुरुवंशकरस्तथा॥
