अनेकधा कृताः पुत्राः ऋषिभिश्च पुरातनैः ।
न शक्यन्ते तेऽधुना कर्तुं शक्तिहीनैरिदन्तनैः ।। Krtāh in the verse means utpăditāḥ and kartum is synonymous with utpădayitum. "The ancient sages produced many sons, but the present - day sages, being shorn of virility, are not able to procreate them.'
The meaning seems to have come down from the Vedic period itself. Krnoti in wulfiunfa 74126 bears testimony to its antiquity. "The delightful dawn produces light, is what the expression means.
