Thus, Śaunaka, in brief and likewise at length — in brief and also at length, all of you there, rich in austerity, all the lineages have been declared to you; what more shall I tell you? Then the sages headed by Śaunaka became pleased and satisfied; those lords of sages, bowed low in devotion, salute the lord of the gods; they saluted the primal god Hari, Viṣṇu, Mādhava. Him whose pure understanding is perfectly grounded in the Vedas and the treatises, clad in a hide, praised by gods and by the best of sages, chief of poets, dark-hued, with a mass of matted hair tawny as gold — Vyāsa, the ornamental mark of the twice-born, I salute with my head. The sage shining like a rain-cloud full of moisture, Vedavyāsa the stainless, the dwelling of the Vedas, the abode of Sarasvatī — Vyāsa I salute. I praise the goddess Sarasvatī, mother of the three worlds, without whose grace the tongue does not turn smoothly. "Which sons of Janamejaya are recited, O Lomaharṣaṇa?" — the sin-destroying tale of the remainder of the Harivaṃśa: "In whom is the lineage of the great-souled Pāṇḍavas established? This I wish to hear; great is my curiosity; I know it all clearly from you as you tell it." "To the son of Parikṣit two sons were born of the Kāśi princess: King Candrāpīḍa, and Sūryāpīḍa the knower of liberation."

Those two sides of his were chafed by (his) play, oozing blood, and both his sides were fitted with (the skin of) a black goat. He came to the side of these two (goats) and drank at their teats; and just so they grew on, and thus he became Ajapārśva ("Goat-sided"); those sides of his, of the black goat's (hide), grew fast (upon him). And so, seeing the boy standing there with goat-sides, the two made his name "Ajapārśva."
