Therefore, I am not afraid of you. When you chose the king as your husband, I too did the same. O beautiful lady, a friend's husband is one's own husband according to the precept of religion. You are a daughter of a Brahmana and therefore you deserve my greatest worship and regard. Do you no know that this royal sage (Yayati) is the object of greater esteem to me?
यदा त्वया वृतो भर्ता वृत एव तदा मया। सखीभर्ता हि धर्मेण भर्ता भवति शोभने॥ पूज्यासि मम मान्या च ज्येष्ठा च ब्राह्मणी ह्यसि। त्वत्तोऽपि मे पूज्यतमो राजर्षिः किं न वेत्थ तत्॥
