त्रयोदशे पुनः प्राप्ते परिवर्ते क्रमेण तु। धर्मो नारायणो नाम व्यासस्तु भविता यदा।।
trayodaśe punaḥ prāpte parivarte krameṇa tu| dharmo nārāyaṇo nāma vyāsastu bhavitā yadā||
Sūta said: When the thirteenth cycle sets in due order, Dharma under the name Nārāyaṇa will be the Vyāsa. At that time, I will be born as the sage Vāli in the holy penance grove of Vālakhilya on the mountain Ghandhamādana[9]. There too those ascetics will be born as my sons. They will be known as Sudhāmā, Kāśyapa, Vāsiṣṭha and Virajas. They will all be endowed with the power of great yogas, be devoid of impurities and will remain celibate. After attaining the yoga of Maheśvara they will go to the world of Rudra.
