तासां देवर्षि संस्पर्शा जाताः साधारणा यतः / पर्वतस्तत्र संभूतो नारदश्चैव तावुभौ

Transliteration

tāsāṃ devarṣi saṃsparśā jātāḥ sādhāraṇā yataḥ / parvatastatra saṃbhūto nāradaścaiva tāvubhau

Translation

Because those apsaras came into contact with the devarṣis, there arose offspring of a common kind. There were born Parvata and Nārada—those two together.
