Uma Said You will have them, O you, who are endued with prowess equal to that of a celestial. I never say what is untrue. You will have sixteen thousand wives. Your love for them and theirs also for you shall be limitless.
उमा उवाच एवं भविष्यत्यमरप्रभाव नाहं मृषा जातु वदे कदाचित्। भार्यासहस्राणि च षोडशैव तासु प्रियत्वं च तथाक्षयं च॥
