Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 66 · Verse 16
Sanskrit Original
आगच्छेत्तु पुनर्देवानुर्वशी स्वर्गभूषणम। ततो विश्वापसुर्नाम गन्धर्वः सुमहामतिः।।
āgacchettu punardevānurvaśī svargabhūṣaṇam| tato viśvāpasurnāma gandharvaḥ sumahāmatiḥ||
The Gandharvas said: Then a Gandharva of very great intellect named Viśvāvasu removed the two young kids belonging to her. After that, she left for heaven. The king began to wander (here and there) on account of separation from her and saw her at Kurukṣetra. He had a talk with her. She told him... “Rush up to the Gandharvas”. He did so. Then they gave him a pot of fire. The king of great martial competency (literally—of great chariot) went to Heaven with it. Originally there was only one fire. But the son of Ilā made it three.
