An account of Agnidhra

Having brought forth (as many as) nine sons, (one) each year, and leaving them (all) in that very house (of Agnidhra), Purvacitti once more joined the service of the (supreme) god, Brahma (the birthless one). The aforesaid sons of Agnidhra, who were well-built and strong by birth through the grace of their (celestial) mother, were allotted their due share (in his kingdom) by their father and ruled over the divisions of Jambudwipa apportioned to them, which were (also) named after them. King Agnidhra, who was not (yet) sated with sense-delights, constantly thought of that celestial nymph as superior (to everything else), and secured through deeds enjoined by the Vedas residence in the same heaven with her, the heaven where the manes live in delight. On the demise of (their) father the nine brothers married the nine daughters of Meru (the deity presiding over Mount Sumeru), Merudevi, Pratirupa, Ugradamstri, Lata, Ramya, Syama, Nari, Bhadra and Devaviti by name.

Thus ends the second discourse entitled "An account of Agnidhra" in Book Five of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
