Vaishampayana said : The son of Nahusha, king (Yayati) having learnt that she was the daughter of a Brahmana, took hold of her right hand and raised her up from that well. The king, after speedily raising her from the well and speaking sweet and courteous words to that beauty of tapering thighs, went away to his own capital. After the departure of the son of Nahusha (Yayati), the faultless featured Devayani spoke in sorrow to Ghurnika who came there.
वैशम्पायन उवाच तामथो ब्राह्मणी राजा विज्ञाय नहुषात्मजः॥ गृहीत्वा दक्षिणे पाणावुजहार ततोऽवटात्। उद्धृत्य चैनां तरसा तस्मात् कूपान्नराधिपः॥ आमन्त्रयित्वा सुश्रोणी ययाति स्वपुरं ययौ। गते तु नाहुषे तस्मिन् देवयान्यप्यनिन्दिता॥ उवाच शोकसंतप्ता घूर्णिकामागतां पुरः।
