तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा बुधस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः । वासाय विदधे बुद्धिं यदुक्तं ब्रह्मवादिना ॥ 7-89-21 ॥

Having heard those words of Budha of untiring deeds, Ila resolved to dwell there, just as had been counselled by that expounder of the sacred Veda.

मासं स स्त्री तदा भूत्वा रमयत्यनिशं शुदा । मासं पुरुषभावेन धर्मबुद्धिं चकार सः ॥ 7-89-22 ॥

For one month, becoming a woman then, she sported ceaselessly with delight; and for the next month, with the nature of a man restored, he turned his mind to righteousness.

Then in the ninth month that fair-hipped woman Ila gave birth, by Budha the son of Soma, to a mighty son, the powerful Pururavas.

As soon as he was born, the fair-hipped Ila placed in the hands of his father Budha the mighty son, who was of a complexion like Budha's own.

बुधस्तु पुरुषीभूतं स वै संवत्सरान्तरम् । कथाभी रमयामास धर्मयुक्ताभिरात्मवान् ॥ 7-89-25 ॥

And the self-possessed Budha, when that one had become a man again, delighted him for the space of a year with discourses imbued with righteousness.
