TRANSLATION

Although Yuvanasva went into the forest with his one hundred
wives, all of them were very morose. The sages in the forest,
however, being very kind to the King, began very carefully and at-
tentively performing an Indra-yajiia so that the King might have a
son.

PURPORT

One may enter the vanaprastha order of life with his wife, but the
vanaprastha order means complete retirement from household life.
