TRANSLATION
Once when Durvasa was a guest at the house of Prtha’s father,
Kunti, Prtha satisfied Durvasa by rendering service. Therefore she
received a mystic power by which she could call any demigod. To
examine the potency of this mystic power, the pious Kunti im-
mediately called for the sun-god.
