Indeed, seeing Pradyumna and Charudeshna and other sons born of Rukmini, Jamvavati, desirous of a son, said these words to me, O Yudhishthira, grant me, O you of undecaying glory, a heroic son, the foremost of powerful men, possessed of the most lovely features, sinless, and like your self. And, O, let there be no delay on your part in granting this prayer of mine!
प्रद्युम्नचारुदेष्णादीन् रुक्मिण्या वीक्ष्य पुत्रकान्। पुत्रार्थिनी मामुपेत्य वाक्यमाह युधिष्ठिर॥ शूरं बलवतां श्रेष्ठं कान्तरूपमकल्मषम्। आत्मतुल्यं मम सुतं प्रयच्छाच्युत माचिरम्॥
