Her beauty was greatly faded (in consequence of her husband's separation) like to a stringed instrument for want of a player. And ever engaged in her husband's welfare she was thoroughly unworthy of being brought under the control of the Rākşasas. Being sunk in the abyss of grief and encircled by those Rākşasīs she appeared in the forest of Asoka like to Rohiņi possessed by Rāhu.
क्लिष्टरूपामसंस्पर्शादयुक्तामिव वल्लकीम्। स तां भर्तृहिते युक्तामयुक्तां रक्षसां वशे॥ अशोकवनिकामध्ये शोकसागरमाप्लुताम्। ताभिः परिवृतां तत्र सग्रहामिव रोहिणीम् ॥
