There, within that palace, the Lord of waters, O king, sported with the damsel. A little while after, Utathya came to know of the ravishment of his wife. Indeed, having heard all the facts from Narada, Utathya addressed the celestial Rishi, saying, Go, O Narada, to Varuna and speak with due severity to him. Ask him as to why he has abducted my wife, and, indeed, tell him in my name that he should give her up.
तत्र देवस्तया सार्धे रेमे राजन् जलेश्वरः। अथाख्यातमुतथ्याय ततः पल्यवमर्दनम्॥ तच्छ्रुत्वा नारदात् सर्वमुतथ्यो नारदं तदा। प्रोवाच गच्छ ब्रूहि त्वं वरुणं परुषं वचः॥ मद्वाक्यान्मुञ्च मे भार्यो कस्मात् तां हृतवानसि।
