Vaishampayana said : Having heard this, Devayani became very angry and she began to tear her cloth. But Sharmishtha, throwing her into a well, went away to her home. The wicked Sharmishtha thought her to be dead and went home in a wrathful mood. When she went away, the son of Nahusha, Yayati came to that place; he was after deer.
वैशम्पायन उवाच समुच्छ्रयं देवयानीं गतां सक्तां च वाससि॥ शर्मिष्ठा प्राक्षिपत् कूपे ततः स्वपुरमागमत्। हतेयमिति विज्ञाय शर्मिष्ठा पापनिश्चया॥ अनवेक्ष्य ययौ वेश्म क्रोधवेगपरायणा। अथ तं देशमभ्यागाद् ययातिर्नहुषात्मजः॥
