Bhṛgu said: Having heard this narrative and also the rite of the six syllables, Vyāsa spoke again to the Creator, as one whose mind was not quite filled. Grieving, the best of kings, bereft of a son, spoke these words: "Abandoning the whole kingdom, I must go to the excellent forest." His friends and the townspeople, exceedingly grieved, wept for him; he said to them: "No fear is to be felt; the two ministers have been made your rulers. Then, O best of kings, I shall strive for the destruction of (my) sin." Bhīma said: "My lord, in the region of Vidarbha is my city Kauṇḍinya; you are the seventh man (in the line) from him. Formerly there was a king named Bhīma; (there was one) handsome, endowed with wealth, most excellent, named Vallabha. To him too, after a long time, a single child was born, O king. To make the child rightly, O fair-browed one, do what has been set forth." Thus instructed, the virtuous woman, having abandoned her grief, then (took up) the child.
