  1. She soon gratified by her severe asceticism the god Sankara (Mahadeva), who became propitious unto
  2. her and said unto that illustrious damsel, 'Ask thou the boon thou desirest! Blest be thou! I am Sankara
  3. prepared to give thee what thou wilt ask.' Desirous of benefiting herself, the maid repeatedly said unto
  4. the supreme lord, 'O give me, a husband endued with every accomplishment.' Then Isana (Mahadeva),
  5. that foremost of all speakers, replied unto her, saying, 'O blessed one, thou shall have five husbands
  6. from among the Bharata princes.' Thus told, the maiden said unto the god who had given her that boon,
  7. 'O lord, I desire to have only one husband through thy grace.' The god then addressed her again and said
  8. these excellent words, 'Thou hast, O girl, said full five times, 'Give me (a) husband.' Thou shalt,
  9. therefore, in another life have five husbands!'
