> maitreya uvāca\
> atha tasya punar viprair\
> aputrasya mahīpateḥ\
> bāhubhyāṁ mathyamānābhyāṁ\
> mithunaṁ samapadyata

*maitreyaḥ uvāca*—Maitreya continued to speak; *atha*—thus; *tasya*—his; *punaḥ*—again; *vipraiḥ*—by the *brāhmaṇas*; *aputrasya*—without a son; *mahīpateḥ*—of the King; *bāhubhyām*—from the arms; *mathyamānābhyām*—being churned; *mithunam*—a couple; *samapadyata*—took birth.

**The great sage Maitreya continued: My dear Vidura, thus the brāhmaṇas and the great sages churned the two arms of King Vena's dead body. As a result a male and female couple came out of his arms.**
