svāṃ ca dhātreyikāṃ tasmai bhūṣayitvā vyasarjayat| kakṣīvaccakṣuṣau tasyāṃ śūdrayonyāmṛṣirvaśī||
Bali said:: She beautified her maid with ornaments and sent her to him. The sage of great Self-control with a pious soul begot two sons viz. Kakṣīvān and Cakṣus of her in the womb of a Śūdra lady. The two sons Kakṣīvān and Cakṣus had great prowess. On seeing them well learned in the Vedas in accordance with the injunctions, and on observing them to be masters of everything and expounders of Vedic lore, on finding that they have achieved spiritual enlightenment and that they had become the most excellent ones, Bali, the son of Virocana, said to the sage—“These two are my sons”.
