R-ṛ Duryodhana, in whose kingdom there was no miser, etc., and who was learned in the Vedas and Vedānta. Duryodhana begat the beautiful Sudarśanā upon the river Narmadā
Agni, taking the shape of a brahman, demanded her hand from the king, who would not give her to him
then Agni vanished from his great sacrifice. Duryodhana repaired to the brahmans, who became informed of the matter by Agni
then the king consented, and Agni gave, as a marriagedower, the boon to the king that he would always remain there, and Agni has always been present there to this day, and was seen by Sahadeva on his digvijaya. She bore to Agni the beautiful Sudarśana, who, even in his childhood, knew Bráhman. Sudarśana married Oghavatī, the daughter of king Oghavat and the sister of Ogharatha, and dwelt in Kurukshetra
he took the vow of conquering death by leading the life of a householder. He instructed Oghavatī that, for pleasing a guest, she must not spare even her own person. One day, when Sudarśana went out to fetch firewood, a graceful brahman came to Oghavatī and required and obtained her own person. Mṛtyu, with his iron club, was always at the side of Sudarśana, watching him in order to find out his flaws. When Sudarśana came home he showed no anger. The brahman turned out to be Dharma, who was pleased with Sudarśana, and said: “you have conquered Mṛtyu”
Oghavatī has been protected from defilement by your virtue and by her own chastity
you will attain to all the worlds in this your body, and, as yoga is in the control of Oghavatī, she will follow you with half her corporeal self, being with the other half [the river]
Oghavatī. Then Indra came, riding in a fine chariot, and approached that brahman.
