The king then addressed her in sweet words. "O beautiful one, O beauty of slender waist, be you a lady of the Deva or Danavas race, be you a maiden of the race of the Gandharvas or the Apsaras, be you a damsel of the Yakshas or the Nagas, or be you a human female, I solicit you to be my wife.
तामुवाच ततो राजा सान्त्वयश्लक्ष्णया गिरा। देवी वा दानवी वा त्वं गन्धर्वी चाथ वाप्सराः॥ यक्षी वा पन्नगी वापि मानुषी वा सुमध्यमे। याचे त्वां सुरगर्भाभे भार्या मे भव शोभने॥
