[52] Moreover, she spoke this with a faltering voice: 'Ah, Yaśodā, you too are cruel due to your stubbornness, and Rohiṇī all the more so, with her heart set on her own son, hostile [to this one]; for, having laid such a delicate boy right on the floor of the bed without any worry, you both stand by without paying much attention, rather than [holding him] to your heart. Even mere vital breaths are to be protected at the heart, what to say of this son who is dearer than life? Therefore fie on you human women, harsher-minded even than demonesses! But I, the presiding goddess of fortune, having heard of the son born of you endowed with marks unmatched in the world, came that very instant and made my gaze joyful like the spring makes the mādhavī creeper. And my two breasts, which bestow all good fortune, constantly drip nectar; drinking which, he will undoubtedly attain a perfected body. Therefore, I shall become his nurse, the bestower of all happiness!'
