When the gods and the Gandharvas and the Yaksas, Raksasas, and Pannagas, coming to my sire asked for me, O foremost of Rākşasas, my father did not bestow me on any one of them. And I shall you the reason thereof; listen, O long-armed one.
ततो देवाः सगन्धर्वा यक्षराक्षसपन्नगाः। ते चापि गत्वा पितरं वरणं रोचयन्ति मे॥ न च मां स पिता तेभ्यो दत्तवान् राक्षसेश्वर। कारणं तद्वदिष्यामि निशामय महाभुज ॥
