Sharmishtha said: O son of Nahusha, none can see the ladies that dwell in the inner-apartments of Soma, Indra, Vishnu, Yama, Varuna and your own. O king, you know that I am handsome and wellborn. O great king, I solicit you. My season has come. See that it goes not in vain.
शर्मिष्ठोवाच सोमस्येन्द्रस्य विष्णोर्वा यमस्य वरुणस्य च। तव वा नाहुष गृहे कः स्त्रियं द्रष्टुमर्हति॥ रूपाभिजनशीलैहि त्वं राजन् वेत्थ मां सदा। सा त्वां याचे प्रसाद्याहमृतुं देहि नराधिप॥
