Shukra said: O Devayani, what good can I do to you? Kacha's life can be revived only with my death. Kacha is within me. There is no other way of his coming out, except by ripping open my stomach.
शुक्र उवाच किं ते प्रियं करवाण्यद्य वत्से वधेन मे जीवितं स्यात् कचस्य। नान्यत्र कुर्मम भेदनेन दृश्येत् कचो मद्गतो देवयानि॥
