ity utsasarja svarh deharh
nimir adhyatma-kovidah

mitrd-varunayor jajne
urvasyam prapitamahah

iti—thus; utsasarja—gave up; svam—his own; deham—body;
nimih—Maharaja Nimi; adhydtma-kovidah—fully conversant with
spiritual knowledge; mitrd-varunayoh—from the semen of Mitra and
Varuna (discharged from seeing the beauty of Urvaéi); jajfie—was born;
urvasyam—through Urvasi, a prostitute of the heavenly kingdom;
prapitamahah—Vasistha, who was known as the great-grandfather.

TRANSLATION
After saying this, Maharaja Nimi, who was expert in the science
of spiritual knowledge, gave up his body. Vasistha, the great-
grandfather, gave up his body also, but through the semen dis-
charged by Mitra and Varuna when they saw Urvasi, he was born

again.
PURPORT

Mitra and Varuna chanced to meet Urvaési, the most beautiful
prostitute of the heavenly kingdom, and they became lusty. Because they
were great saints, they tried to control their lust, but they could not do
so, and thus they discharged semen. This semen was kept carefully in a
waterpot, and Vasistha was born from it.
