214 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 18

TRANSLATION

Upon seeing Urvasi, the celestial society girl, both Mitra and
Varuna discharged semen, which they preserved in an earthen pot.
The two sons Agastya and Vasistha later appeared from that pot,
and they are therefore the common sons of Mitra and Varuna.
Mitra begot three sons in the womb of his wife, whose name was
Revati. Their names were Utsarga, Arista and Pippala.

PURPORT

Modern science is trying to generate living entities in test tubes by
processing semen, but even long, long ago it was possible for semen kept
in a pot to develop into a child.
