His daughter was named Pritha, who was matchless on earth in beauty. Her father (Shura) promised before Fire that he would give his first-born child to the son of his paternal aunt, king Kuntibhoja, who was childless. He gave his daughter (Pritha) to that king, expecting to get his favour. And king Kuntibhoja, adopted her as his daughter. She was engaged in her (foster) father's house in attending upon Brahmanas and guests.
तस्य कन्या पृथा नाम रूपेणासदृशी भुवि। पितुः स्वस्त्रीयपुत्राय सोऽनपत्याय वीर्यवान्॥ अग्रमग्रे प्रतिज्ञाय स्वस्यापत्यस्य वै तदा। अग्रजातेति तां कन्यां शूरोऽनुग्रहकांक्षया॥ अददत्कुन्तिभोजाय स तां दुहितरं तदा। सा नियुक्ता पितुर्गेहे ब्राह्मणातिथिपूजने॥
