Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 9 - Chapter 1 - Verse 37


Sanskrit:

श्रीययातिरुवाचअतृप्तोऽस्म्यद्य कामानां ब्रह्मन् दुहितरि स्म ते ।व्यत्यस्यतां यथाकामं वयसा योऽभिधास्यति ॥ ३७ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-yayātir uvācaatṛpto ’smy adya kāmānāṁbrahman duhitari sma tevyatyasyatāṁ yathā-kāmaṁvayasā yo ’bhidhāsyati

Translation:

King Yayāti said, “O learned, worshipable brāhmaṇa, I have not yet satisfied my lusty desires with your daughter.” Śukrācārya then replied, “You may exchange your old age with someone who will agree to transfer his youth to you.”

Purport:

When King Yayāti said that he had not yet satisfied his lusty desires with Śukrācārya’s daughter, Śukrācārya saw that it was against the interests of his own daughter for Yayāti to continue in old age and invalidity, for certainly his lusty daughter would not be satisfied. Therefore Śukrācārya blessed his son-in-law by saying that he could exchange his old age for someone else’s youth. He indicated that if Yayāti’s son would exchange his youth for Yayāti’s old age, Yayāti could continue to enjoy sex with Devayānī.
