Sanskrit Original
तस्य रेतः प्रचस्कन्द दृष्ट्वाप्सरसमुर्वशीम्। अप्सूपस्पृशतो राजन् मृगी तच्चापिबत् तदा॥ सह तोयेन तृषिता गर्भिणी चाभवत् ततः। सा पुरोक्ता भगवता ब्रह्मणा लोककर्तृणा॥ देवकन्या मृगी भूत्वा मुनि सूय विमोक्ष्यसे। अमोघत्वाद् विधेश्चैव भावित्वाद् दैवनिर्मितात्॥ तस्यां मृग्यां समभवत् तस्य पुत्रो महानृषिः। ऋष्यशृङ्गस्तपोनित्यो वन एवाभ्यवर्तत॥
O king, when he was washing his face, he saw the Apsara Urvashi and his seed fell. A hind drank it up, thirsty as she was, with the water (she had been drinking). She thus conceived. As she was formerly told by the exalted creator of the world, (Brahma), that celestials damsel became a hind and was freed by begetting a Rishi. As the words of the creator could not be false. in that hind was born his (Vibhandaka's) son, a great Rishi, named Rishyashringa, who was always devoted to asceticism and who passed his time in the forest.
