There was in the time of yore, a wise Rishi, named Utathya. He had a wife, name Mamata whom he dearly loved. One day Utathya's younger brother, the priest of the celestials, the greatly effulgent Brihaspati, proposed to Mamata.
अथोतथ्य इति ख्यात आसीद्धीमानृषिः पुरा। ममता नाम तस्यासीद्धार्या परमसंमता॥ उतथ्यस्य यवीयांस्तु पुरोधास्त्रिदिवौकसाम्। बृहस्पतिर्ब्रहत्तेजा ममतामन्वपद्यत॥
