Every woman feels a very great affection for her son-in-law. If, therefore, I get a daughter over and above my one hundred sons, then surrounded by sons and daughter's sons, I shall feel myself supremely happy. If I have truly performed penances, if I have ever given in charity, if I have ever performed Homa, if ever I have respected my superiors, lets a daughter be born to me." All this time that best of Rishis, the illustrious Krishna Dvaipayana himself was dividing that ball of flesh. Counting full one hundred parts, he said to the daughter of Subala (Gandhari).
अधिका किल नारीणां प्रीतिर्जामातृजा भवेत्। यदि नाम ममापि स्याद् दुहितैका शताधिका॥ कृतकृत्या भवेयं वै पुत्रदौहित्रसंवृता। यदि सत्यं तपस्तप्तं दत्तं वाप्यथवा हुतम्॥ गुरवस्तोषिता वापि तथास्तु दुहिता मम। एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु कृष्णद्वैपायनः स्वयम्॥ व्यभजत् स तदा पेशी भगवानृषिसत्तमः। गणयित्वा शतं पूर्णमंशानामाह सौबलीम्॥
