Vaishampayana said : O Janamejaya, the king Yayati was as effulgent as Indra himself. I shall tell you in reply to your question how Shukra and Vrishaparva bestowed (on the king) their daughters in due rites and I shall specially narrate how the union of the Nahusha, took place with Devayani.
वैशम्पायन उवाच ययातिरासीनृपतिर्देवराजसमद्युतिः। तं शुक्रवृषपर्वाणौ वब्राते वै यथा पुरा॥ तत् तेऽहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि पृच्छते जनमेजय। देवयान्याश्च संयोगं ययाते हुषस्य च॥
