Adhyaya 52 — The Manifestation of Nilalohita (Rudra) and the Allocation of His Names, Abodes, Consorts, and Lineages
सोमं दुर्वाससं चैव दत्तात्रेयञ्च योगिनम् ।
प्रीत्यां पुलस्त्यभार्यायां दत्तोऽन्यस्तत्सुतोऽभवत् ॥
somaṃ durvāsasañ caiva dattātreyañ ca yoginam | prītyāṃ pulastyabhāryāyāṃ datto 'nyas tat-suto 'bhavat ||
सोम, दुर्वासा आणि योगी दत्तात्रेय—हे पुत्र उत्पन्न झाले. तसेच पुलस्त्याची पत्नी प्रीती हिच्यापासून ‘दत्त’ नावाचा आणखी एक पुत्र झाला; तोच तिचा पुत्र ठरला.
