Janamejaya said: 'Our forefather Yayati, the tenth from Prajapati — how did he win the daughter of Shukra, so hard to obtain? This I wish to hear in full detail, O best of the twice-born; and tell me, in order, the descendants who carried on the line of Puru.' Vaishampayana said: 'Yayati, radiant as the king of the gods, was a royal sage; long ago Shukra and Vrishaparvan chose him [as a son-in-law]. O Janamejaya, I shall tell you of the union of Devayani and Yayati, son of Nahusha. Between the gods and the asuras there arose mutual rivalry over sovereignty throughout the three worlds, with all that moves and does not move within them. Desiring victory, the gods chose as their priest the sage [Brihaspati], son of Angiras; the others — the asuras — chose for their sacrifices Ushanas (Shukra), son of Kavi; and these two brahmins were forever rivals of one another. Whatever danavas the gods slew in battle, Kavya (Shukra) revived again by the power of his knowledge; and they, rising once more, fought the gods. But whatever gods the asuras slew in the thick of battle, the wise Brihaspati could not revive. He did not know the reviving science (sanjivani) that the mighty Kavya knew; and because of this the gods fell into deep despair. Those gods, terrified of Kavya-Ushanas, came to Kacha, the eldest son of Brihaspati, and said: "Accept us, devoted to you; render us the highest help; swiftly obtain the science that dwells in the boundlessly radiant brahmin Shukra, and you shall share in our portion.
