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