There upon understanding king's desire, the beautiful goddess Pārvatī, mercifully said: The boon, according to your desire, shall be granted. O king, when you shall attain to the male figure, you shall not remember anything of your female form. And when you shall a assume the charming female figure you shall forget everything of your male state.
ईप्सितं तस्य विज्ञाय देवी सुरुचिरानना॥ प्रत्युवाच शुभं वाक्यमेवमेव भविष्यति। राजन्पुरुषभूतस्त्वं स्त्रीभावं न स्मरिष्यसि॥ स्त्रीभूतश्च परं मासं न स्मरिष्यसि पौरुषम्।
