There was a great ascetic (tapas) named Kusha, who originated from (brahmayoni) Brahman. Through Vaidarbhī, he begot four sons similar to himself: Kushamba, Kushanabha, Adhūrtarajas, and Vasu.

Kuśa, desiring to fulfill the duty (dharma) of a warrior (kṣatra), addressed his sons, who were radiant, greatly enthusiastic, most righteous, and truthful. He said: 'O sons, let governance be established; you will thereby achieve abundant righteousness (dharma).'
कुशस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा चत्वारो लोकसंमताः ।
निवेशं चक्रिरे सर्वे पुराणां नृवरास्तदा ॥३॥

Having heard Kuśa's command, all four of those sons, who were respected by the people and were the best among men, then established (their own) cities.
कुशाम्बस्तु महातेजाः कौशाम्बीमकरोत् पुरीम् ।
कुशनाभस्तु धर्मात्मा परं चक्रे महोदयम् ॥४॥

Kuśāmba, the greatly resplendent, established the city of Kauśāmbī. And Kuśanābha, a righteous soul (dharmātmā), brought about supreme prosperity.

The beautiful river Sumagadhi, renowned, flowed through the Magadha region. It appears splendid like a garland amidst the five principal mountains.

O Rama, this very Magadhi (river/region) indeed belongs to that great-souled (mahātman) Vasu. O Rama, it was previously cultivated, a fertile land, adorned with abundant crops.

O scion of Raghu (raghunandana), the righteous-souled (dharmātman) royal sage (rājarṣi) Kuśanābha begot a hundred peerless daughters by Ghṛtācī.

Those women, radiant with youth, beautiful, and well-adorned, having arrived at the garden, appeared like flashes of lightning in the rainy season.

O Rāghava, singing, dancing, and playing instruments, adorned with excellent ornaments, they attained supreme joy.

12.
And then, those women, beautiful in all their limbs, unequalled in beauty on earth, having arrived at the garden, shone like stars in the midst of clouds.
ताः सर्वगुणसंपन्ना रूपयौवनसंयुताः ।
दृष्ट्वा सर्वात्मको वायुरिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥१३॥

13.
Having seen those women, who were endowed with all good qualities and possessed of beauty and youth, Vayu, the all-pervading spirit (ātman), spoke these words.
अहं वः कामये सर्वा भार्या मम भविष्यथ ।
मानुषस्त्यज्यतां भावो दीर्घमायुरवाप्स्यथ ॥१४॥
मानुषस्त्यज्यतां भावो दीर्घमायुरवाप्स्यथ ॥१४॥

14.
I desire all of you; you will become my wives. Abandon your human nature (bhāva), and you will obtain a long life.

15.
Having heard those words of Vāyu, whose deeds were effortless, the hundred maidens then laughed at his statement and spoke.
अन्तश्चरसि भूतानां सर्वेषां त्वं सुरोत्तम ।
प्रभावज्ञाश्च ते सर्वाः किमस्मानवमन्यसे ॥१६॥

16.
O best of gods, you move within all beings. All of us know your power (prabhāva). Why, then, do you despise us?
कुशनाभसुताः सर्वाः समर्थास्त्वां सुरोत्तम ।

surottama! vayam sarvāḥ kuśanābhasutāḥ (ca) tvām devam sthānāt cyāvayitum samarthāḥ.
tu tapaḥ rakṣāmaḥ.
tu tapaḥ rakṣāmaḥ.
17.
O best of gods, all of us are daughters of Kuśanābha and are capable of displacing you from your position. Indeed, we are protecting our spiritual austerities (tapas).

O dull-witted one, may that time never come when you disrespect your truthful father. It is by our inherent duty (dharma) that we ourselves seek a suitable groom.
पिता हि प्रभुरस्माकं दैवतं परमं हि सः ।
यस्य नो दास्यति पिता स नो भर्ता भविष्यति ॥१९॥
यस्य नो दास्यति पिता स नो भर्ता भविष्यति ॥१९॥

yasya naḥ pitā dāsyati saḥ naḥ bhartā bhaviṣyati

19.
For a father is indeed our lord; he is truly our supreme deity. The one whom our father will give to us will be our husband.

20.
Having heard those words from them, the divine Lord Vāyu, who was exceedingly wrathful, entered all their limbs and broke them.

tadā rājā bhagnāḥ dṛṣṭvā saṁbhrāntaḥ idam abravīt

21.
Those maidens, broken by Vāyu, entered the king's house. Seeing them thus shattered, the king was bewildered and spoke these words.
किमिदं कथ्यतां पुत्र्यः को धर्ममवमन्यते ।
कुब्जाः केन कृताः सर्वा वेष्टन्त्यो नाभिभाषथ ॥२२॥
कुब्जाः केन कृताः सर्वा वेष्टन्त्यो नाभिभाषथ ॥२२॥

kena sarvāḥ kubjāḥ kṛtāḥ veṣṭantyaḥ na abhibhāṣatha
kena sarvāḥ kubjāḥ kṛtāḥ veṣṭantyaḥ na abhibhāṣatha
22.
What is this? Tell me, daughters! Who disrespects the natural law (dharma)? By whom have all of you been made hunchbacked? Why do you not speak, even though you surround me?
