अकरोत् पुत्रकामस् तु मनुर् इष्टिं प्रजापतिः मित्रावरुणयोस् तात पूर्वम् एव विशां पते अनुत्पन्नेषु नवसु पुत्रेष्व् एतेषु भारत

And while that sacrifice was going on, O best of the Bharatas, Manu offered an oblation in the portion of Mitra and Varuṇa. // 9.4 As the oblation was being offered, gods, gandharvas and men, and sages rich in austerity, came to the highest satisfaction: "Ah, the power of his austerity! ah, his learning! ah, his wealth!" Then, wearing divine garments, adorned with divine ornaments, and of divine build, Iḍā was born — so runs the tradition.

Then Manu, the wielder of the rod, said to her, "You are Iḍā; follow me, good lady," and Iḍā replied to him this speech in accord with dharma, to the Lord of Creatures who desired a son: "I have been born in the share of Mitra and Varuṇa, O best of speakers; I shall go into their presence — let not dharma, once violated, destroy me."

But when Manu, O father, O subduer of foes, had entered into the sun, the warrior line that had come from him divided this earth into ten parts. (9.17) This earth, marked with sacrificial posts, is a mine of soma-offerings. Ikṣvāku, the eldest heir, obtained the Middle Country; and because of his being (born) a girl, Sudyumna did not obtain this privilege.

And here these three: Dhṛṣṇuka, Ambarīṣa, and Daṇḍa—he, the great-souled one, who made the excellent Daṇḍaka forest, that forest famed in the world, unsurpassed among (the forests) of ascetics; a man merely by entering there is released from sin. And Sudyumna went to heaven after begetting Eḍa, O Bhārata. Utkala's three sons were renowned in the three worlds. The descendant of Manu, O great king, was endowed with the marks of both woman and man. (9.20) He bore the name Iḍā, and so was known as Sudyumna. But Pṛṣadhra, having killed his teacher's cow, O Janamejaya, fell to Śūdra-hood by a curse—he, the son of that great-souled one. Nāriṣyanta's sons were the Śakas; and of Nābhāga, O Bhārata, Ambarīṣa was the son, O best bull among kings.

Out of childishness, out of desire, out of delusion, out of excitement and out of rashness, he carried off, from desire, the daughter of some city-dweller. On a certain day the prince, of extreme prowess, roaming about in his own town, saw a fair-eyed girl being wed at the altar to some eminent vaiśya. The discerning lord of the earth, seizing her by force—she who had not yet transgressed the boundary of the seven steps, who was joined with her husband by the taking of the hand—wed her himself by force, by the gāndharva marriage. All the vaiśyas came together and said this to the king: "The girl has been carried off from the altar by the prince by great force. When the world is not protected by the king, then it will surely perish. What was never done before by those forefathers, and will not be done even in extremity—such a blameworthy deed has the prince done, O king!" On account of that mark of unrighteousness King Trayyāruṇa abandoned him; the father Trayyāruṇa cast off (his son), who was bound up with unrighteousness, saying again and again, filled with anger, "Get out!"

Then in that country the Chastiser of Pāka (Indra) did not rain; soon, because of the king's and Vasiṣṭha's lack of deliberation, because of the abandonment of the prince, Indra did not rain. When for twelve years the people were destroyed by this, there was no cry of svāhā, no svadhā, not even the vaṣaṭ call; then in the realm of that king there was a destruction of dharma—twelve years, O lord of kings, by that unrighteousness at that time.

But Viśvāmitra of great austerity, leaving his wife behind in that (king's) territory, practised vast austerity on the coastal marsh of the ocean. At that very time Viśvāmitra's four sons, knowers of the Veda, were tormented by hunger. When the exceedingly great-souled Viśvāmitra had gone far away for austerity, they all with folded hands spoke to their mother, O Bhārata: "Mother, if it pleases you to live, sell a son and live. Otherwise we shall all die, tormented by hunger. Sell a son and live until father's return. When total ruin has come, a man gives up half and accomplishes his purpose with the (other) half—so runs the ancient teaching. One should be given up for the sake of the family, the family for the sake of the village, the village for the sake of the district; for one's own sake one should give up all. Therefore, mother, sell your sons and live at ease; otherwise we shall all go to destruction together with you. In Ayodhyā all the men are great-souled, thoughtful and eminent; they take in those who come to them for service as slaves. Therefore, mother, sell me first, consume me the eldest; afterwards sell them all, if Vāsava does not rain." His wife, binding a rope on his neck, sold her own middle son for a hundred cows, for the sake of maintaining the rest.

And great-armed Satyavrata provided for his maintenance, both to please Viśvāmitra and out of compassion. Then Vasiṣṭha, of great vows, harboured anger in his mind. He (the freed son) became the great ascetic named Gālava, from the binding of his neck—the great seer, the Kauśika, my dear, who was released by that hero.
