Verse 4.17.2

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इयं प्रथममुत्पन्ना सा तनुर्ब्रह्मणः पदात् ।
शुद्धा जातिर्भार्गवस्य नान्यजन्मकलङ्किता ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
iyaṃ prathamamutpannā sā tanurbrahmaṇaḥ padāt |
śuddhā jātirbhārgavasya nānyajanmakalaṅkitā || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The reason is, that the body of Sukra issued at first from the will of Brahma, and was born of the pure family of Bhrigu, without being vitiated by any other birth.
