And O great king, the mother of that child, a lady of the fairest complexion, urged the king for a wife for that daughter, as if she were a son.

इष्वस्त्रे चैव राजेन्द्र द्रोणशिष्यो बभूव ह। तस्य माता महाराज राजानं वरवर्णिनी॥ चोदयामास भार्यार्थं कन्यायाः पुत्रवत् तदा। ततस्तां पार्षतो दृष्ट्वा कन्यां सम्प्राप्तयौवनाम्। स्त्रियं मत्वा ततश्चिन्तां प्रपेदे सह भार्यया॥
