She reached the spot with Sharmishtha and her one thousand maids. She wandered about at pleasure. She felt herself very happy, being waited upon by these companions. They all sported there, they drank the honey of the flowers. They ate various fruits, (they threw away many) after biting. The king (Yayati), the son of Nahusha, in the course of his wanderings for hunting again came there, tired and thirsty. He saw Devayani and Sharmishtha and all those maidens.
तेन दासीसहस्रेण सार्धं शर्मिष्ठया तदा। तमेव देशं सम्प्राप्ता यथाकामं चचार सा॥ ताभिः सखीभिः सहिता सर्वाभिर्मुदिता भृशम्। क्रीडन्त्योऽभिरताः सर्वाः पिबन्त्यो मधुमाधवीम्॥ खादन्त्यो विविधान् भक्ष्यान् विदशन्त्यः फलानि च। पुनश्च नाहुषो राजा मृगलिप्सुर्यदृच्छया॥ तमेव देशं सम्प्राप्तो जलार्थी श्रमकर्शितः। ददृशे देवयानी स शर्मिष्ठां ताश्च योषितः॥
