The sister of that chastiser of foes, Vasudeva, the daughter of the king of Kunti (Bhoja), Kunti, endued with all auspicious marks. The daughter-in-law of Vichitravirya and the wife of the illustrious Pandu and the mother of us (the Pandavas), resplendent as the filament of lotus. Delicate and tender, fit to sleep on the costliest beds, is now asleep as she could never do not the bare ground!
स्वसारं वसुदेवस्य शत्रुसङ्घावमर्दिनः। कुन्तिराजसुतां कुन्तीं सर्वलक्षणपूजिताम्॥ स्नुषां विचित्रवीर्यस्य भार्यां पाण्डोर्महात्मनः। तथैव चास्मज्जननीं पुण्डरीकोदरप्रभाम्॥ सुकुमारतरामेनां महार्हशयनोचिताम्। शयानां पश्यतायेह पृथिव्यामतथोचिताम्॥
