The method adopted by the great sages and scholars, who were learned in Vedic knowledge, was perfect. They removed all the reactions of King Venas sinful activities by seeing that King Vena first gave birth to Bahuka, described in the previous chapter. After King Venas body was thus purified, a male and female came out of it, and the great sages could understand that this was an expansion of Lord Visnu. This expansion, of course, was not visnu-tattva but a specifically empowered expansion of Lord Visnu known as avesa.
