The maidens, after rising from the water all together, put on the clothes which each got near her from the mixed up heap. The cloth of Devayani was thus taken up and worn by Sharmishtha, the daughter of king Vrishaparva, not knowing that it belonged to others.
ततो जलात् समुत्तीर्य कन्यास्ताः सहितास्तदा। वस्त्राणि जगृहुस्तानि यथासन्नान्यनेकशः॥ तत्र वासो देवयान्याः शर्मिष्ठा जगृहे तदा। व्यतिमिश्रमजानन्ती दुहिता वृषपर्वणः॥
