शुक्रोऽसौ प्रथममिति क्रमेण जातस्तस्मात्सत्परमपदादुदारकीर्तिः ।
स्वेनाशु स्मृतिपदविभ्रमेण पश्चादन्येषु प्रविलुलितो दशान्तरेषु ॥ २६ ॥

śukro'sau prathamamiti krameṇa jātastasmātsatparamapadādudārakīrtiḥ |
svenāśu smṛtipadavibhrameṇa paścādanyeṣu pravilulito daśāntareṣu || 26 ||

Thus the son of Bhrigu, who was born as Sukra at first, was gradually led away from his holy state by his thought of the heavenly nymph, and subjected to various states of life to which he was prone.
