Cyavana’s Birth and Bhṛgu’s Curse upon Agni (च्यवनजन्म तथा अग्निशापः)
स एव च्यवनो जज्ञे भृगो: पुत्र: प्रतापवान् । त॑ं ददर्श पिता तत्र च्यवनं तां च भामिनीम् । स पुलोमां ततो भार्या पप्रच्छ कुपितो भृगु:,इस प्रकार भृगुपुत्र प्रतापी च्यवनका जन्म हुआ। तदनन्तर पिता भृगुने वहाँ अपने पुत्र च्यवन तथा पत्नी पुलोमाको देखा और सब बातें जानकर उन्होंने अपनी भार्या पुलोमासे कुपित होकर पूछा--
sa eva cyavano jajñe bhṛgoḥ putraḥ pratāpavān | taṃ dadarśa pitā tatra cyavanaṃ tāṃ ca bhāminīm | sa pulomāṃ tato bhāryā papraccha kupito bhṛguḥ |
于是，婆利古（Bhṛgu）那位威名赫赫的儿子遮婆那（Cyavana）诞生了。随后，他的父亲在彼处看见了儿子遮婆那与那女子普罗摩（Pulomā）。婆利古怒火中烧，便质问妻子普罗摩，追问究竟发生了什么。
