Vaishampayana said I bow to that great Rishi who is the remover of Darkness, and whom Satyavati bore to Parashara in the midst of an island, who is endued with great knowledge and great liberality of soul.
वैशम्पायन उवाच जज्ञे बहुशं परमत्युदारं यं द्वीपमध्ये सुतमात्मयोगात्। पराशरात् सत्यवती महर्षि तस्मै नमोऽज्ञानतमोनुदाय॥
