Traducción

Translation

Citraketu tenía diez millones de esposas, pero, aunque estaba capacitado para engendrar hijos, ninguna de ellas pudo darle un descendiente. El azar quiso que todas ellas fuesen estériles.

This Citraketu had ten million wives, but although he was capable of producing children, he did not receive a child from any of them. By chance, all the wives were barren.
