grahaṁ somasya cāśvinoḥ
bhiṣajāv iti yat pūrvaṁ

so 'ntaḥ-samudre nagarīṁ
vinirmāya kuśasthalīm
āsthito 'bhuṅkta viṣayān
ānartādīn arindama
tasya putra-śataṁ jajñe
kakudmi-jyeṣṭham uttamam
O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, subduer of enemies! Revata constructed a kingdom known as Kuśasthalī in the depths of the ocean. There he lived and ruled such tracts of land as Ānarta. He had one hundred sons, of whom the eldest was Kakudmī.
|| 9.3.29 ||
kakudmī revatīṁ kanyāṁ
svām ādāya vibhuṁ gataḥ
putryā varaṁ paripraṣṭuṁ
brahmalokam apāvṛtam
Taking his own daughter, Revatī, Kakudmī went to Lord Brahmā in Brahmaloka, which is uninfluenced by rajas and tamas, and inquired about a husband for her.
Vibhum means Brahmā. His planet is not covered by rajas and tamas (apāvṛtam).

svābhiprāyaṁ nyavedayat
Since a Gandharva was engaged in performing, Lord Brahmā was busy. After a moment, when the Gandharva finished, Kakudmī offered his respects to Brahmā and expressed his desire.
Brahmā did not have time (alabdha-kṣaṇaḥ). When the Gandharva was finished, he spoke to Brahmā (ādyam).
|| 9.3.31 ||
tac chrutvā bhagavān brahmā
prahasya tam uvāca ha
aho rājan niruddhās te
kālena hṛdi ye kṛtāḥ
After hearing his words, Lord Brahmā, who is most powerful, laughed and said to Kakudmī: O King, all those whom you may have decided within the core of your heart to accept as your son-in-law have passed away in the course of time.
Those who were considered as son-in-laws in your heart have passed away.
|| 9.3.32 ||
