TRANSLATION
While Maharaja Santanu was on a hunting excursion, he saw the
male and female children lying in the forest, and out of compas-
sion he took them home. Consequently, the male child was known
as Krpa, and the female child was named Krpi. Krpi later became
the wife of Dronacarya.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, Twenty-first
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Dynasty of Bharata.”
