Vaishampayana said : Yayati, then coming to his capital which was like that of Indra, entered the innerapartment and installed Devayani there. At the request of Devayani, he established the daughter of Vrishaparva in a house which he caused to be erected in the Ashoka groves of his gardens. The king honoured the daughter of Vrishaparva, Sharmishtha, surrounded by her one thousand maids, by making every arrangement for her food and garments.
वैशम्पायन उवाच ययाति: स्वपुरं प्राप्य महेन्द्रपुरसंनिभम्। प्रविश्यान्तःपुरं तत्र देवयानी न्यवेशयत्॥ देवयान्याश्चानुमते सुतां तां वृषपर्वणः। अशोकवनिकाभ्याशे गृहं कृत्वा न्यवेशयत्॥ वृतां दासीसहस्रेण शर्मिष्ठां वार्षपर्वणीम्। वासोभिरन्नपानैश्च संविभज्य सुसत्कृताम्॥
