Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 9 - Chapter 1 - Verse 8


Sanskrit:

अन्यस्यामपि भार्यायां शकले द्वे बृहद्रथात् ।ये मात्रा बहिरुत्सृष्टे जरया चाभिसन्धिते ।जीव जीवेति क्रीडन्त्या जरासन्धोऽभवत् सुत: ॥ ८ ॥

ITRANS:

anyasyām api bhāryāyāṁśakale dve bṛhadrathātye mātrā bahir utsṛṣṭejarayā cābhisandhitejīva jīveti krīḍantyājarāsandho ’bhavat sutaḥ

Translation:

Through the womb of another wife, Bṛhadratha begot two halves of a son. When the mother saw those two halves she rejected them, but later a she-demon named Jarā playfully joined them and said, “Come to life, come to life!” Thus the son named Jarāsandha was born.
