O descendant of the Bharata race, he overpowered me, a mere girl, by his great effulgence and he also enveloped the region with a thick fog. There was in my body a revolting odour of fish before, but the Rishi dispelled it and gave me my this fragrance.
अभिभूय स मां बालां तेजसा वशमानयत्। तमसा लोकमावृत्य नौगतामेव भारत॥ मत्स्यगन्धो महानासीत् पुरा मम जुगुप्सितः। तमपास्य शुभं गन्धमिमं प्रादात् स मे मुनिः॥
