Thereupon she propitiated the ascetic Gautama saying, “O twice-born one, I was unwittingly ravished by Indra, assuming your form. I have not committed this willingly, O ascetic-so do you be propitiated with me.”
तदाप्रभृति भूयिष्ठं प्रजा रूपसमन्विता। सा तं प्रसादयामास महर्षि गौतमं तदा॥ अज्ञानाद्धर्षिता विप्र त्वद्रूपेण दिवौकसा। न कामकाराद्विप्रर्षे प्रसादं कर्तुमर्हसि॥
