O king, that charming and celestials-like damsel appeared to shine in her own beauty. Thereupon the son of Kunti Dhananjaya, seeing that wonderful sight, spoke thus in great happiness to that lady, "O beautiful lady, who are you? O lady of the lake, where do you live? Why did you commit such a dreadful sin before?"
दीप्यमाना श्रिया राजन् दिव्यरूपा मनोरमा। तदद्भुतं महद् दृष्ट्वा कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजयः॥ तां स्त्रियं परमप्रीत इदं वचनमब्रवीत्। का वै त्वमसि कल्याणि कुतो वासि जलेचरी॥ किमर्थं च महत् पापमिदं कृतवती पुरा।
