इत्युत्ससर्ज स्वं देहं निमिरध्यात्मकोविद: । मित्रावरुणयोर्जज्ञे उर्वश्यां प्रपितामह: ॥ ६ ॥
ity utsasarja svaṁ dehaṁ nimir adhyātma-kovidaḥ mitrā-varuṇayor jajñe urvaśyāṁ prapitāmahaḥ
ក្រោយនិយាយដូច្នេះ និមិ ដែលជាអ្នកជំនាញវិជ្ជាអធ្យાત્મ បានលះបង់រាងកាយ។ វសិષ્ઠ ក៏លះបង់រាងកាយដែរ ប៉ុន្តែដោយទឹកកាមដែល មិត្រ និង វរុណ បញ្ចេញពេលឃើញ អ៊ុរវសី គាត់បានកើតឡើងវិញ។
Mitra and Varuṇa chanced to meet Urvaśī, the most beautiful prostitute of the heavenly kingdom, and they became lusty. Because they were great saints, they tried to control their lust, but they could not do so, and thus they discharged semen. This semen was kept carefully in a waterpot, and Vasiṣṭha was born from it.
