Having narrated that sweet-worded story to Rāma, Kauśika again spoke these other words to the descendant of Kakutstha.

Formerly, there was a valiant king, the ruler of Ayodhyā, named Sagara. He was a righteous (dharma) soul, desirous of offspring, yet childless.
वैदर्भदुहिता राम केशिनी नाम नामतः ।
ज्येष्ठा सगरपत्नी सा धर्मिष्ठा सत्यवादिनी ॥३॥
ज्येष्ठा सगरपत्नी सा धर्मिष्ठा सत्यवादिनी ॥३॥

3.
O Rāma, Keśinī by name was the daughter of the king of Vidarbha. She was the elder wife of Sagara, righteous (dharma) and truth-speaking.
अरिष्टनेमिदुहिता रूपेणाप्रतिमा भुवि ।
द्वितीया सगरस्यासीत् पत्नी सुमतिसंज्ञिता ॥४॥

4.
Ariṣṭanemi's daughter, unmatched in beauty on earth, was the second wife of Sagara, named Sumati.
ताभ्यां सह तदा राजा पत्नीभ्यां तप्तवांस्तपः ।
हिमवन्तं समासाद्य भृगुप्रस्रवणे गिरौ ॥५॥

samāsādya girau bhṛguprasravaṇe tapaḥ taptavān
5.
Then, the king, accompanied by those two wives, performed great austerity (tapas) after reaching the Himalayas, specifically at the Bhṛgu waterfall on the mountain.
अथ वर्ष शते पूर्णे तपसाराधितो मुनिः ।
सगराय वरं प्रादाद्भृगुः सत्यवतां वरः ॥६॥
सगराय वरं प्रादाद्भृगुः सत्यवतां वरः ॥६॥
6. atha varṣa śate pūrṇe tapasārādhito muniḥ ,

atha varṣa śate pūrṇe tapasā ārādhitaḥ satyavatām
varaḥ bhṛguḥ muniḥ sagarāya varam prādāt
varaḥ bhṛguḥ muniḥ sagarāya varam prādāt
6.
Then, after a full hundred years, the sage (muni), worshipped through his austerity (tapas), Bhṛgu, the best among the truthful, granted a boon to Sagara.
अपत्यलाभः सुमहान्भविष्यति तवानघ ।
कीर्तिं चाप्रतिमां लोके प्राप्स्यसे पुरुषर्षभ ॥७॥

7.
You will have a very great gain of progeny, O sinless one. And you will attain unmatched fame in the world, O best among men.
एका जनयिता तात पुत्रं वंशकरं तव ।
षष्टिं पुत्रसहस्राणि अपरा जनयिष्यति ॥८॥

Dear father, one woman will give birth to your son who will continue the lineage. The other will give birth to sixty thousand sons.

9.
Then, the two queens, greatly pleased and with hands joined in reverence (kṛtāñjalipuṭe), having propitiated him, the tiger among men (naravyāghra) who was speaking, said to him.
एकः कस्याः सुतो ब्रह्मन् का बहूञ्जनयिष्यति ।
श्रोतुमिच्छावहे ब्रह्मन् सत्यमस्तु वचस्तव ॥१०॥
श्रोतुमिच्छावहे ब्रह्मन् सत्यमस्तु वचस्तव ॥१०॥
10. ekaḥ kasyāḥ suto brahman kā bahūñjanayiṣyati ,

10.
ekaḥ kasyāḥ sutaḥ brahman kā bahūn janayiṣyati
śrotum icchāvahe brahman satyam astu vacaḥ tava
śrotum icchāvahe brahman satyam astu vacaḥ tava
10.
O Brahmin, who will be the mother of the one son? And who will give birth to many? We both desire to hear, O Brahmin; let your words be true.
तयोस्तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा भृगुः परम धार्मिकः ।
उवाच परमां वाणीं स्वच्छन्दो ऽत्र विधीयताम् ॥११॥
उवाच परमां वाणीं स्वच्छन्दो ऽत्र विधीयताम् ॥११॥
11. tayostadvacanaṃ śrutvā bhṛguḥ parama dhārmikaḥ ,

uvāca paramāṃ vāṇīṃ svacchando'tra vidhīyatām.
11.
tayoḥ tat vacanam śrutvā bhṛguḥ parama dhārmikaḥ
uvāca paramām vāṇīm svacchandaḥ atra vidhīyatām
uvāca paramām vāṇīm svacchandaḥ atra vidhīyatām
11.
Having heard their words, Bhrigu, the highly righteous (dhārmika) one, spoke a profound statement: "Let your free choice (svacchanda) be exercised here."
एको वंशकरो वास्तु बहवो वा महाबलाः ।
कीर्तिमन्तो महोत्साहाः का वा कं वरमिच्छति ॥१२॥
कीर्तिमन्तो महोत्साहाः का वा कं वरमिच्छति ॥१२॥
12. eko vaṃśakaro vāstu bahavo vā mahābalāḥ ,

kīrtimanto mahotsāhāḥ kā vā kaṃ varamicchati.
12.
ekaḥ vaṃśakaraḥ vā astu bahavaḥ vā mahābalāḥ
kīrtimantaḥ mahotsāhāḥ kā vā kam varam icchati
kīrtimantaḥ mahotsāhāḥ kā vā kam varam icchati
12.
kā vā kam varam icchati (ekaḥ vaṃśakaraḥ vā astu,
bahavaḥ vā mahābalāḥ kīrtimantaḥ mahotsāhāḥ)?
bahavaḥ vā mahābalāḥ kīrtimantaḥ mahotsāhāḥ)?
12.
Whether there be one heir to the lineage, or many who are exceedingly mighty, famous, and greatly energetic - which (woman) desires what boon?
मुनेस्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा केशिनी रघुनन्दन ।
पुत्रं वंशकरं राम जग्राह नृपसंनिधौ ॥१३॥
पुत्रं वंशकरं राम जग्राह नृपसंनिधौ ॥१३॥

13.
Raghunandana,
Rāma,
keśinī tu muneḥ vacanam śrutvā nṛpasaṃnidhau vaṃśakaram putram jagrāha.
Rāma,
keśinī tu muneḥ vacanam śrutvā nṛpasaṃnidhau vaṃśakaram putram jagrāha.
13.
O descendant of Raghu, O Rāma, Keśinī, having indeed heard the words of the sage, accepted a son, an heir to the lineage, in the presence of the king.
षष्टिं पुत्रसहस्राणि सुपर्णभगिनी तदा ।
महोत्साहान् कीर्तिमतो जग्राह सुमतिः सुतान् ॥१४॥
महोत्साहान् कीर्तिमतो जग्राह सुमतिः सुतान् ॥१४॥

mahotsāhān kīrtimataḥ jagrāha sumatiḥ sutān
14.
Tadā suparṇabhaginī sumatiḥ mahotsāhān kīrtimataḥ ṣaṣṭim putrasahasrāṇi sutān jagrāha.
14.
Then, Sumati, the sister of Suparṇa, accepted sixty thousand sons, who were greatly energetic and famous.
प्रदक्षिणमृषिं कृत्वा शिरसाभिप्रणम्य च ।
जगाम स्वपुरं राजा सभार्या रघुनन्दन ॥१५॥

rājā sabhāryā ṛṣim pradakṣiṇam kṛtvā ca śirasā abhipraṇamya svapuram jagāma.
15.
O descendant of Raghu, the king, along with his wife, having circumambulated the sage and bowed down with his head, went to his own city.
अथ काले गते तस्मिञ्ज्येष्ठा पुत्रं व्यजायत ।
असमञ्ज इति ख्यातं केशिनी सगरात्मजम् ॥१६॥
असमञ्ज इति ख्यातं केशिनी सगरात्मजम् ॥१६॥
16. atha kāle gate tasmiñjyeṣṭhā putraṃ vyajāyata ,

asamañja iti khyātaṃ keśinī sagarātmajam.
16.
atha kāle gate tasmin jyeṣṭhā putraṃ vyajāyata

16.
atha tasmin kāle gate jyeṣṭhā keśinī sagarātmajam
putraṃ asamañjaḥ iti khyātaṃ vyajāyata
putraṃ asamañjaḥ iti khyātaṃ vyajāyata
16.
Then, after that period had elapsed, the eldest wife, Keshini, gave birth to a son of Sagara, who was known as Asamañja.
सुमतिस्तु नरव्याघ्र गर्भतुम्बं व्यजायत ।
षष्टिः पुत्रसहस्राणि तुम्बभेदाद्विनिःसृताः ॥१७॥
षष्टिः पुत्रसहस्राणि तुम्बभेदाद्विनिःसृताः ॥१७॥
17. sumatistu naravyāghra garbhatumbaṃ vyajāyata ,
ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi tumbabhedādviniḥsṛtāḥ.
ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi tumbabhedādviniḥsṛtāḥ.
17.

ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi tumbabhedāt viniḥsṛtāḥ
17.

tumbabhedāt ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi viniḥsṛtāḥ
tumbabhedāt ṣaṣṭiḥ putrasahasrāṇi viniḥsṛtāḥ
17.
But Sumati, O tiger among men, gave birth to a gourd-like mass of flesh. From the breaking of that mass, sixty thousand sons emerged.
घृतपूर्णेषु कुम्भेषु धात्र्यस्तान् समवर्धयन् ।
कालेन महता सर्वे यौवनं प्रतिपेदिरे ॥१८॥

18.
The nurses nourished them in jars filled with ghee. In a long time, all of them attained youth.
अथ दीर्घेण कालेन रूपयौवनशालिनः ।
षष्टिः पुत्रसहस्राणि सगरस्याभवंस्तदा ॥१९॥

putrasahasrāṇi rūpayauvanaśālinaḥ tadā abhavan
putrasahasrāṇi rūpayauvanaśālinaḥ tadā abhavan
19.
Then, after a long time, the sixty thousand sons of Sagara became endowed with beauty and youth.
स च ज्येष्ठो नरश्रेष्ठ सगरस्यात्मसंभवः ।

20.
And he, the eldest, O best among men (narśreṣṭha), the son (ātmasaṃbhava) of Sagara, O delight of the Raghu dynasty (raghunandana), would seize children, throw them into the waters of the Sarayū, and constantly laughing, indeed watch them drown.

Engaged in actions harmful to the citizens, he was banished from the city by his father.

His son, named Aṃśumān, was mighty, approved by all people, and spoke kindly to everyone.
ततः कालेन महता मतिः समभिजायत ।

niścitā matiḥ 'yajeya' iti samabhijāyata
23.
Then, after a long time, O best among men (narśreṣṭha), a firm intention arose in Sagara: "I shall perform a ritual (yajña)."
स कृत्वा निश्चयं राजा सोपाध्यायगणस्तदा ।
यज्ञकर्मणि वेदज्ञो यष्टुं समुपचक्रमे ॥२४॥
यज्ञकर्मणि वेदज्ञो यष्टुं समुपचक्रमे ॥२४॥

kṛtvā yajñakarmaṇi yaṣṭum samupacakrame
kṛtvā yajñakarmaṇi yaṣṭum samupacakrame
24.
Then, that king, who was a knower of the Vedas, having made his resolution, and accompanied by the group of preceptors, commenced to perform the Vedic ritual (yajña).
